They asked on the mailinglist. :)
Its fully documented in the source. Have a look at the virgefb.c file
and similar.

Unless you (or someone else) enhances the driver to initialise the
CV64-3D it will never be possible. The easiest thing to do is to boot
linux from your s:startup-sequence. You could also check for a mouse
button and only boot linux when the mouse button is pressed (or not
pressed) so that you need only one bootpartition for AmigaOS and
Linux.
