The "Unable to open initial console" helped a lot :)

It doesnt work on my /240 either ... It sends out packages and
it gets the FIRST but no others - It receives the BOOTP request answer
correct but the tcpdump output shows that it trys to ask my
sunrpc for the port numbers for the mountd/nfsd which my machine
answers but it doesnt seem to creep up the Kernel.

Yup multiple minutes ...

It looks like it does - It boots into and then shows me a change to
3 and trys then to start a mingetty on /dev/ttyS2 which doesnt seem to work :)

It does ... I tried to replace the init by the one on CobaltMicro
but that doesnt help so - What on earth is the init doing ?
