Cheers, making real progress now, thanks to you and also Dave Houlden's web page http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dave.houlden/root_fs_slack12.0.readme. (not sure if he reads / posts here). A bit of comparison between Dave's notes and my go at it allowed me to get a working image. Interestingly Dave's root image (downloadable) does not need a mem= passing to it whereas mine does - and Dave does not install udev whereas I do. So thanks to you both.
