I installed Debian from that netinstall. Only thing to do to get it 
install was getting IDE port running by modprobe falconide or 
patafalcon. Don't
And removing -s from the bootargs puts the kernel into TT ram which
speeded up things a lot.

I recorded the full uncut boot process:

So, a trimmed down version would probably be somewhat faster.
My Falcon runs at 90 MHz and has 14MB/512MB ST/TT RAM.
