Alright. There might be other problems.

I'd like to know that too. I know it works on my R4600SC. Any other
successes?

Probably... could you see what it reports for teh SCSI probe?
It should look something like:
DS1286 Real Time Clock Driver v1.0
streamable misc devices registered (keyb:150, gfx:148)
loop: registered device at major 7

Could you see what it reports for partitioning? Mine says:
Partition check:
sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4
sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3

It says this because it can't find /sbin/init, because it can't find the
root filesystem.

Two reasons: there's no fielsystem that has /dev/console for you, and I
never built in serial console support. I will, thuogh.
Could you look into the lack of disk problems first? This is on an Indy,
right?
