Bug#241228: Oldworld from floppy, installing the kernel fails

I tried it, no luck :-(

tansania:~# dpkg -l |grep quik && cat /etc/quik.conf
ii  quik           2.0e-6         Bootloader for PowerMac or CHRP systems
# Generated by quikconfig
# (C) 1998 Matt McLean <keys@yikes.com>
# partition=3

timeout=20
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.25-powerpc-small
root=/dev/hda2
label=Linuxr
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.25-powerpc-small
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.25-powerpc-small
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.25-powerpc-small
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.25-powerpc-small
label=Linuxa
read-only
append=" initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.25-powerpc-small"

with 

nvsetenv boot-device ata/ata-disk@0:0
nvsetenv boot-file "/boot/vmlinux-2.4.25-powerpc-small"
nvsetenv output-device   screen
nvsetenv input-device    kbd

but as sad, didn't work. Is initrd really supported by quik? I cannot find 
anything about it in the manpage quik.conf as well.


regards,
