This is good :-) It finds a rootfs and can mount it. Usually things
already fail at this stage.

Ok can you loop mount your filesystem? Normally this should be possible
with any normal kernel. Check if the directory structure in the
filesystem contains the following : /dev (with device
nodes.), /etc, /bin, /sbin ... And if they are similar to what you have
in /var/rootfs-m68k.
Another possibility might be that /dev on your fs does not contain the
correct device node for the serial port. This way you won't see any
output. So it might actually boot. Try to
change /var/rootfs-m68k/etc/init.d/rcS to include a an ifconfig line (if
you have network (ex. ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1) and try to ping it. If
it responds you are sure that it boots up fine.

You're welcome.
