ARGH. Crap crap crap crap crap. I was hoping that some people would
have taken the initiative to actually test this stuff *before* the
release. I am not endowed with the massive bandwidth that seems to be
required in order to make official CD images, so I can only test
boot-floppies.
I guess this will be a 2.2r1 issue then.

Okay, well, you are going to need to find the kernel and the root.bin
ramdisk image, then give them manually to aboot. Boot with '-flags
i', then enter them at the prompt:
aboot> b /linux initrd=<path to root.bin> root=/dev/ram
