Ok, ALMOST there....

I am able to boot from ROM and log in.  Full network access and
everything... But I cannot boot from disk, it gets to Second stage kernel:
Decompressing - done" and hangs.  I've let it sit for about 15 minutes, it
doesn't even cycle. Could this be due to the configuration I used to
compile the kernel?  If so, I have the config file linked at
http://trutwins.homeip.net/raq4_config.txt

I changes /etc/inittab to comment out the 6 getty lines and uncommented
out the two lines for logging in via serial (setting the baud
appropriately).  I also have only two lines in /etc/modules.conf

alias eth0 eepro100
alias eth1 eepro100

Getting very close!  Once this is solved, I'll hopefully be out of
everyone's hair.  I owe some people a pint or two...
