Working tftp boot image for sun4u

[Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>]

Ok, I've narrowed down the problem with init not being pid-1 to 2.4.x
kernels and the presence of /linuxrc on the root disk. We don't want
/linuxrc, since we don't need it. However, on 2.2.x, this worked fine,
and on 2.4.x, the initrd code doesn't seem to know to mount /dev/ram
when it falls through.

So, this tftp image has no /linuxrc, and you need to make sure you boot
with this from the PROM:

ok boot net root=/dev/ram

This will get you by. I'm going to hold off doing 2.4.14 images until I
get this resolved, and then cut some new boot disks.
