uum, ...

I had tested my patch for intel box, using boot-floppies-2.2.1 deb
package.  According to md5sum and diff, libraries in root1444.bin 
do not differ between before and after being pathed.

To make sure, I once removed boot-floppies, did 
'rm -rf /usr/src/boot-floppes', and installed deb again.

I booted patched resc1440.bin and root1440.bin on intel box, and I
could reach to the menu screen without problem.

I once tested with cvs tree and saw no difference of library for
i386. I could not finish 'make check' with today's cvs tree.

I don't know where is problem at all, but your problem seems to be
caused by incomplete libc.
