At the URL below is the compressed ramdisk:
http://auric.debian.org/~bcollins/disks-sparc/current/images-1.44/root.bin
FYI, I added some (much needed) debugging output to TILO. It gets
completely through TILO main() and back into crt0.S (so the kernel image
is decompressed, and memmove'd, and the address returned). The "Fast
Data Access MMU Miss" happens when it jmpl's to the address returned by
main().
