Right, got through the next hurdle, only to find another one
lurking beyond it!  I copied the kernel file in as /vmlinux,
created a /etc/boot.conf file and ran the loadmap -v command
to create the /boot/boot.map file (after linking /dev/root to
/dev/hda3).  So far so good...

Then I tried to boot the system, and it correctly identifies the
kernel and then crashes when it tries to load it!  The messages
go like this:
....
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
INIT: version 2.64 booting
Bad mode in prefetch abort handler detected: mode SVC_32
Internal error:  Oops:  0
CPU: 0
pc  :  [<c4018500>]
lr  :  [<c3805254>]
....

and then goes on to dump the register contents and give
a backtrace.  The machine then stiffs and requires a reset
switch to get it back.

Incidentally, the same thing happens if I boot from the kernel
in the adfs partition and specify root=/dev/hda3 at the bootloader
optional parameter prompt.

Any ideas anyone?  I've checked the FAQ this time, and I don't
seem to be able to find this problem there.  It did mention
something about incompatible expansion cards, but I don't think
that can be it can it?  I've got a (blacklisted) Oak SCSI card,
a Scanlight Video256 card and an Acorn MIDI podule, all of which
are irrelevant as far as Linux is concerned.

Once again, any help much appreciated!

Thanks,
Simon.
