Yes you're true, there is a simple patch to bootstrap that i have done but  
not still submitted. This because bootstrap can only handle compressed 
kernels with no more than 2 Megs of dimension. 
I will submit this patch to CVS during this week!

I think that for Paul there is also another thing to try:

the idea is this: you may try is to substitute  
	video=clgen:low
with
	video=amifb:vga

This because clgen driver has some programming problems 
and if the kernel is compiled with also the PCI option (i think it
is so because PCI is used for CVisionPPC) a preprocessor #if 
cuts out all the Zorro driver's part.
Time ago i promised to correct it. Because i have a Picasso 4 too.
And i will, if i shall find the time...
