Thanks a lot !

Here's the result:
It boots without crashing.

Networking is enabled (I can telnet and ssh). There are apparently no
more problems related to the SCSI controller.

Two things are missing:
/dev/ttyS* support (but I don't need them)
ADB (when I type, nothing happens. I have to telnet to the box)

Here's a snip from dmesg, which might be helpful (sonic, scsi, adb):
