I've finally found some time to look into this again.

I haven't got any X11 stuff at all on my server, so I can't really try

Apart that as you say con=pts is good, but for X11:
1) Test with xterm, but before:
2) export DISPLAY=workstation:0 - that setting must be readable by processes
attempting to use X.
But you'd better:
3) Enable SSH forwading - ssh to the server and start UML from there (possibly
with screen) - SSH will open an encrypted X11 tunnel and auto-setup DISPLAY
and so on.
Yep, I tried both exactly as you say. For the last method I do think
some extra X11 stuff on the server is needed such as xauth.
First, you can say con1=fd:0,fd:1 instead to redirect tty1 to stdin/out,
however you just need to add an entry in inittab for tty0 along with tty1 and
list tty0 in /etc/*securetty* (path varies) to allow root to login from tty0.
Don't use /dev/console as that is very different and has problems (aka
Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z don't work, for instance).
It seems this works for me. I'm now using the Debian 3.0 root_fs again.
It seems to boot fine at first, but after a while it hangs after
'Starting periodic command scheduler: cron.'.
Does anyone recognise this problem?
Thanks,
Julius
