Hi all;

after some comments about the "wrecked" Bering-uClibc 2.2 ISO image, I 
looked again into Charles changes to linuxrc and leafcfg.

I replaced in syslinux.cfg for the ISO image
 LEAFCFG=/dev/fd0:msdos
with
LEAFCFG=/dev/cdrom:iso9660

and the image boots without floppy (with some errors messages due to 
missing floppy) into a login prompt - no more kernel panic!

Next I inserted a blank floppy before booting, the errors have been 
gone, and I was able to backup successfully to the floppy (though it 
wasn't the default device  - had to change with "d  - package no.).
Reboot restored the changed settings.

Last test - I inserted the floppy after boot:
as expected the same error messages, but it's possible to save to the 
floppy, if I choose "custom destination" in the "Set Backup 
Destination" dialog
 
Backup "initrd" is only available with a floppy inserted during boot.

I admit, I haven't understood the capabilities of Charles work before 
completly - I still may be missing some of the "hidden features". 

Kudos to Charles for his work and sorry, that I haven't catched that 
before.
