Well, I guess there are not too many volunteers for this task. :-)

Yes, see below as well.
So, this is so far the complete protocol of my tests:
1.) Tried to start from cd rom (bootstra.prg)
Output: Unable to get kernel image vmlinux
Copied everything to harddisc, renamed bootstra.prg to bootstra.tos
bootargs:
-s -d -k c:\linux\vmlinuz -r c:\linux\initrd.gz root=/dev/ram
video=atafb:vga16 console=tty load_ramdisk=1 fb=false
2.) Booted from TOS, no additinal programs loaded, Resolution 16
Colours, 640x480
Bootstra.prg started:
Linux/68k Atari Bootstrap version 6.0snapshot Dec 13 2004
