Well it will boot the floppy, but it doesn't seem to like real ide
cdrom drives. That kernel is just a bit too old.
Trying to fake it with other methods doesn't seem to finish booting.
No idea why.
If someone wrote emulation of the old matsushita or panasonic or mitsumi
cdrom interfaces it might work, but why would anyone bother?
