I appreciate all the guys who e-mailed suggestions. What I did do, after
thoroughly searching several lists, is use the Debian kernel-package
utilities, downloading, configuring, and building a vanilla 2.4.28 from
kernel.org. I installed this kernel (after the long build, of course),
changed /etc/aboot.conf, and rebooted. From SRM I booted to that kernel, and
it works. The trick was to build the kernel with Sable only support, not
generic. So the machine feels much snappier now. Much.
