Can you provide that ramdisk for this sort of tests? Over on linux-m68k, 
Alan has got past the framebuffer problem now, but his initrd fails to 
run some udev related binary. If yours does work without udev it might 
help him debug things further.

The ramdisk does not have to fit into the 4MB in the TT case, there's 
enough memory (just not of the 24bit addressable kind).
