Thanks for following through on this.
I can now confirm that I can boot using SCSI disks (the fact that this was possible for a while into IDE was a life-saver here :-) a Ruffian (pyxis) Alpha using 2.4.0-test11 kernel and two patches posted by Ivan (bridges-2.4.0t11.gz and extra ruffian fixes).
Here are fragments from 'dmesg':
.... Booting on Ruffian using machine vector Ruffian from MILO Command line: bootdevice=sda2 bootfile=/vml240o11.gz root=/dev/sda2 ....

Those who posted "me too" could you please test that this is not only a fluke on my particular machine?
Thanks a bunch, Ivan. Also thanks are extended to Gerard Roudier who provided a crucial hint in the moment when we appeared to be completly stuck. :-)
