Well, thanks to a suggestion from Samuel Tardieu, it finally works with raw loading of a kernel in the boot sectors: A:- ro root=/dev/sda1 # The AlphaServer 1200 cannot load a kernel in an ext2 fs :-( Apparently, aboot can read its own configuration file from an ext2 partition but not the kernel in the same partition. Probably because it is larger (does not fit in one sector), which triggers an ext2 problem :-(
