On a possibly related note, I had to use the Woody CHRP ramdisk. PReP
would fail every time (sorry, don't have the error data available now).
And I've seen docs that state the 140 was an "intermediate" stage
between PReP and CHRP (I'll dig through my files and try to find them).
Have Debian running fabulously on a 7043-140 233mhz now.
