I didn't know about fs=, so I just went ahead and arbitrarily changed
SHMMAX in my kernel. It worked.

There was a problem with Tk that propagated into et and then into
xcdroast. I rebuilt the affected parts and filed a bug report. I
haven't uploaded my .debs though, counting on the upstream maintainer to
fix the problem first. However, I'll put them on genie.ucd.ie (into
/pub/alpha/debian).
BTW, I've successfully burnt a CD on alpha with xcdroast (on a Philips
CDD2660, which was a crappy one actually).
