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.
