The kernel locking up in adb initialization during boot when you wiggle the
mouse at the wrong moment is a known issue... Re-try the boot, and make
sure you leave the mouse alone after the Booter takes over.

Alternatively, you could just plop a GENERIC(SBC) kernel on the 1.4
installation, and boot that, then untar the tarballs. Some caveats apply,
though, like making sure you have a populated /etc/pam.d directory.
