Sorry, it doesn't.

I got the same error as with the miboot-image. The kernel loads to  
"Welcome to Linux..." and stops with "IBAT3L   :0x0080007f" after a  
few lines of output.

Any guesses?

Because of having the same trouble with different installers but same  
kernel and remembering kernels for YDL-3.0 are working on my maschine  
I guess this actual kernel must have some different option not  
compiled with...?

BTW: a question: after that line: what's following in the boot  
process if anything goes right?

I tried different options as before. Since devfs doesn't alter the  
result described above i guess this is to mount the dev-filesystem?
I haven't read about this option in any of the nubus-docs yet.

Well, usually I use just "video=ariel2fb" but I'm not really sure if  
it matters.

Thanks,
