I see, thanks for the heads-up.

I can actually help you with that. I know what to do to get the kernel
to boot on the LANDISK device. I've got everything working except
being unable to detect the IDE controller. The attached config builds
a kernel which boots with the attached output.

Furthermore, in order to install the kernel, you need to use the
cross-LILO version from [1] which allows to install the bootloader
on an x86 machine into the SuperH LANDISK image.

Instructions can be found in [2]. A base filesystem can be found in [3].

And I could also send you an USL-5P which is also a LANDISK device,
just in a different form-factor.
