 yep - it works.  messages about probing some device at a random
 location say 'oops it not there'.

 unfortunately, something _else_ has gone wrong - probably with yaird -
 where the root (which is the /dev/hdc) cannot be detected (!!!) and so
 i end up with a busybox shell in the initrd (!) but that's another
 story...
