If you've got installed linux on some partition you have to set rootdev to "/dev/ hda8" or whatever partition number it's installed on (hda8 is very common). If you want to use a ramdisk that is not embedded into a kernel image use the "miboot.image" or "MachKernel.elf" files with miBoot or BootX. However on my machine initial ramdisks don't work yet because of an exception error. The parameter "video" should be set to "offb" or "offb:ofonly". Whether the parameter keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes still exists I don't know.
