Bug#469533: fails to boot etch netboot/gtk images

[Robert Millan <rmh@aybabtu.com>]

Package: loadlin
Version: 1.6c.really1.6c-1.1
Severity: important

When you attempt boot using loadlin and:

  http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/gtk/debian-installer/i386/linux
  http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/gtk/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz

with standard boot params (initrd=initrd.gz video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=788), it
hangs with a black screen after switching to graphical mode.

I only tried on qemu, but I expect it'd be the same on real hw.
