Thanks, I succesfully got to multiuser with a quantum lightning as / .
Some tests with bonnie (it's a 382 with 16MB of memory)

bash-2.05# bonnie -s 30

For comparison, here's the same with oscsi:

Not bad at all! I'm anxiously waiting for the DMA magic :-)

Not related to this but I might have a snapshot ready in a few days
but nowhere to put it. Any ideas (please, limit suggestions to
ftp-sites :-)?
