Hmm, already tried that - not /really/ successfully, i have/hate to
admit. Installation went well, but the boot process failed with 'error
opening /dev/console' during init :-(
Might be because i used the kernel sources from Debian (2.6.6) with
module support ... will have to give it another try!

Yep, that's on my list, too.
