Herbert, thanks for your interest in helping me. The major:minor number is 3a:05. It looks odd to me, but what do I know? In fact, the whole problem is my own idiocy. Instead of "root=" I had "boot=" on the kernel commandline. Oops. I couldn't even see that before. I think a long weekend will help sometimes :-). Changing "boot" to "root" in the menu.lst solves the problem both for your package and for my custom kernel.
