I booted Linux 3.1-rc5 with a BusyBox initramfs on a 4 MB PowerBook
recently. I had to create minimal configs for both, but it did indeed boot
to a shell prompt.
The kernel (with initramfs) was loaded by Pengiun within the free RAM
availble under System 7 so I imagine this scenario isn't much different to
the TOS/GEM scenario but I have no experience with Atari hardware. YMMV.
