I guess from this that you are using Bill Gatliff's stuff - that's how I 
finally got it too work too.

But once I got there I moved on to the Debian 'distro' on m17n - see

http://www.m17n.org/linux-sh/dreamcast/

This has X but don't expect anything slick.

But I kept the more up to date kernel - I mount all this via NFS (and it is 
possible to do that with busybox too - but you have to hack the configuration 
files). 

To mount NFS make sure you have the kernel compiled to do this and the 
command line configured properly and it's not too difficult (eventually!).

If you've got a BBA then you can load the kernel via IP - see

http://www.cerc.utexas.edu/~andrewk/dc/

for dcload-ip

And do you know about the IRC channel - #LinuxDC on irc.openprojects.net
