Inspired by Scott ("Getting the ol' Macintosh LC475 modernized") I pulled my

http://www.freewrt.org/~tg/f/vmlinux-3.10-2-m68k.gz, and since Penguin said
it didn't have enough memory (I have 36mb total) I put the files on disk and
booted an emile floppy which was able to load. The boot hung early, however,
and sat here for over an hour:

The last line is about disabling the boot console, long before macfb is
initialized, so there's a "black hole" in between.
Can you try to add "keep_bootcon" to the kernel command line? That
should keep the boot console alive. It may conflict later with e.g. macfb
and the freeing of init memory, and crash horribly there, but it may give
some valuable information about what happens during the "black hole".
