I *think* the problem lies within the V36 bootrom, thinking that the
loaded kickstart image is still present (which it of course is NOT), and
jumping into nevereverland thru the wrong reset-vector. The way to find
out about this would be to write a (perhaps simplistic, in the first go)
loadbsd that runs under V36, and then have BSD load from that old 1.4
kickstart (klick in the left upper corner in the V36 bootmenu, the
one that allows selection of either kick 2.0 or 1.3). This is just an idea,
but I have some reason to believe into it... (oh, and I have the same problem
myself:-))
