I got the connectors for null modem cable ready so simply wait till I
solder it and send another bug report. I hope the kernel will write some
of the ABCD chars to serial port...

There is a catch in the Geert's trick with root=/dev/hdaX I forgot to
report. As soon as the ramdisk is copied to the same disk drive you want
to install Sarge on, the atari-fdisk fails with a message "this drive is
in use" or something like that. Normal (i386) fdisk allows you to open
and edit mounted disk drive but atari-fdisk will not. Not sure why it's
so picky, perhaps for user safety..
So you need either to have the harddrive pre-partitioned and then skip
the "partition your harddrive" step (this is from woody, let's see how
sarge copes with it) or the ramdisk-to-harddrive must be stored on a
different disk drive.
