I found the following in the release notes:

beoboot-lanl 1.2 -----------------------------------------------------
This version should be used with BProc version 3.1.6+

There are some monte MONTE_PROTECTED related cleanups which require
that you patch the phase 1 beoboot kernel.  This is necessary because
the kernel normally throws away the information from the real mode
code after reading it.  It used to be possible to just find it at
90000h but boot loaders have begun putting that information at other
addresses.


and I have found a patch for kernel 2.4.17
monte/linux-2.4.17-save_real_mode_conf.patch

does this patch apply to 2.4.17 and newer, and thus be used for 2.4.21 (my
kernel)? If so, I assume 
"patch -p0 < beoboot-cm.1.5/monte/linux-2.4.17-save_real_mode_conf.patch" will work.
