That's interesting. Do you remember how you did it?

I can't really tell; that's the problem. As I said before, it says 
"Mount root file system from cd9660:acd0" and then hangs without any 
more messages. I read the things another guy posted which apparently 
is evidence for a buffer overrun or something like that, but I'm not 
sure.

I went to the site, and they sent me to their archives. I found a 
link to sourceforge, but I can't read any of it. Are you sure there 
is an English version anymore?

Anyway, I would like to know how you loaded the filesystem in through 
the boot loader if you could tell me; this may be a solution for me.
