Allrighty,
Here is what I have put together. Some of which is just an educated guess.
I was using an older version of uml_utilities which worked fine with the
slink file system and the 2.4.18-21 kernel. However, it did not work with
either the 2.4.18-21 or 2.4.18-45 kernels when combined with the bering file
system. This was tested with both my bering 1.0-rc2 and my bering 1.0-rc3
and both of these tested against both the -21 and -45 kernels. It also did
not work when combined with Brad's bering 1.0-rc3 file system. To get more
in depth I also used Brad's start up script, 2.4.18-45 kernel, and
initrd.lrp. To take it a step forward I swapped in and out my start up
script, my kernels, my file systems, and initrd.lrp. All to no success. I
worked on this for hours and am pretty sure I have used every possible
combination.
Next, I updated to the most recent uml_utilities released just a few days
ago on 2002-09-06. I found that I could only get the UML bering file system
to come up with the 2.4.28-21 kernel. Brad however is able to use the
2.4.28-45 kernel but he is also using uml_utilities dated 2002-07-29. My
original uml_utilities was even older than this.
So here is my final recommendation...
bering 1.0-rc3 file system
+
kernel 2.4.18-21
+
uml_utilities_20020906.tar.bz2
or use...
bering 1.0-rc3 file system
+
kernel 2.4.18-45
+
uml_utilities_20020729.tar.bz2
If anyone can confirm interactions that counter what I have just tested
please let me know. For now I am going to stick with the most recent
uml_utilities and use the 2,4,18-21 kernel until the bering crew releases an
update.
Thanks allot for your help on this Brad.
Regards,
Eric

It's part of the debian testing uml-utilities package:
$ dpkg -S uml_mconsole
uml-utilities: /usr/share/man/man1/uml_mconsole.1.gz
uml-utilities: /usr/bin/uml_mconsole
$ dpkg -l uml-utilities | grep "^ii"
ii uml-utilities 20020729-1 User-mode Linux (utility programs)
Looks like it's a fairly recent (7/29) release.

Will do.
