Add "single" to the -flags argument(s), ie -flags "root=/dev/sda3 single".

Both 3.3.6 and 4.0.x have working Voodoo3 support, IIRC, though 4.0.x
is problematic on EV56 machines with some servers.
The problem area is most likely that the SRM console's BIOS emulator
may not like the BIOS code on the card. Only advice is to FLASH the
latest release of SRM available for 1000A, and see what happens. Hold
on to your receipt in case you have to return the card... :-\
Good luck.
