I tried to boot with the yaird utility.
I can't have it to run.
by looking at the generated initrd, I was surprised that no linuxrc
existed, only a /init.

Booting the initrd ended up to :
	mount inird ok
	no root found, insert a floppy and hit enter

So, /init does not seems to be executed.

I'll have a closer look this evenning.
