Yes, the 3.10 kernel does not have *any* disc or filesystem drivers
in the kernel image - it relies on Debian initramfs-tools to create
an initrd tailored for your specific system. That's the thing I had
feared when switching to initrd - making such bootstrapping cases
harder.
You should be able to use 3.2 or 3.8 to boot then install the kernel
package on the system which will let it generate an initrd.
Maybe we can cheat.
http://zigo.mirbsd.org:8080/t/initrd.img-3.10-2-m68k
is the one Debian generated for me on the system running the buildd
and *might* be able to get you into console mode at least.
(The "mirnitrd" contains only minimal klibc-utils userspace and is
not intended for booting into a system on the HDD. It's supposed to
drop you into a shell on tty2.)
