Yes, Chris was quite right ;)

I got the beast working now and booting cleanly with the 2.4.20-powerpc
kernel from Sarge.  The key was the `video=ofonly' in the boot-file
parameter set with nvsetram...  It looks to be quite a nice little
workstation when running Sarge.

Unfortunately, discover prevents the thing from booting with the 2.4
kernel.  Removing discover solved the problem, but it had been causing a
hard lock-up on boot (although, strangely, no problems with the 2.2
kernel). 

If anyone is working with a similar box in the future and wants to
e-mail me, feel free...
