I tried that kernel on my iMac with the 3.0.16 boot-floppies initrd. It does
boot up for me. I found if I configured the keyboard (either keymap), it
went to a really wacky keymap; but if I avoided that step it was usable. (In
that crazy keymap, just in case you arrive there, 2=r for reboot, and
F5=Return.) I didn't do too much, there are probably lots of
incompatibilities. I tried configuring DHCP, that failed. And it froze when
rebooting.
