I get to this point ^^^^^^^^. Exceptions:

a) My RAM is different. I have 160 MB.
b) My bfd command is: "bfd /boot/vmlinux=5Fraq-2800.gz nfsroot=3D/nfsroot". 
Yes, my NFS share is accessible and the file is there, because I can 
see the raq transfer the file with NFS (using tcpdump on the host 
machine).
c) I never receive the "done" message after the bootloader kernel 
decompression. It just reboots, and puts be back into diagnostics mode, 
ready to boot the regular kernel unless I interrupt it again.

Weird. Thanks for the help so far.
