Apparently he means having many drivers as modules in the initrd makes it
easier to support all the various Mac models. Quite the contrary - the
initrd is an additional bloat to load into memory, which is scarce for
m68k in the most cases.
The whole array of Mac models is supported by just a few drivers really.
The bus error looks like the pseudo-DMA read does not correctly catch the
(fake) bus error anymore. Might be a compiler issue, or support for access
checking in copy_from_user derived asm routines broke.
