that is different when booting from CD other than the first stage

Correct, booting from the HD with 1.4.9 works just fine.
The only thing could could possibly be the issue is something to do with
initrd. Maybe some bug haas crept in, maybe it's a memory mapping issue
particular to the III/IIIi's. Could be that SILO is writing the initrd
over top of the kernel or writing the value into the wrong place in the
kernel.
Quick test of this would be to see if you could boot from CD with no
initrd and mounting a hd for root.
I'll try this tonight when I get home and report back.
