Subjectumsdos root does boot
Date
The umsdos patch from mnalis was the difference in
booting to a umsdos root partition. Not MCA though.
I asserted the patch by hand, and after changing
my omn typo it works. But I get

umsdos_lookup_x: linux/inux negative after link

in funny places. Like 3 times right before boot
failure on the PS2. The PS2 and the klone are 486s.

This build has PCI and MCA and IBM SCSI in the same kernel.
It's still telling me sda sdb and sdc are sdc sdb and sda,
and it WILL boot to sda5, which is ext2, if I call it sdc5.
It won't do that on a umsdos partition (sda/c2).

To recap, the same 2.1.126+umsdos.patch kernel boots on
MCA/SCSI/ext2 or PCI/EIDE/umsdos but not MCA/SCSI/umsdos.
floppy or loadlin doesn't seem to matter.
Now I go comment out SMP=1 (doH!) and let the PS2 and gcc
lull me to sleep.
