bug#364: getting better

severity 364 wishlist
thanks

With the recently committed changes, it is possible to make this
machine boot by doing "prompt" at the SYSLINUX prompt, and telling the
system not to start hotplug _and_ not to start discover.

Starting either hotplug or discover makes the system hang immediately
after loading a USB module.  (hotplug and discover both attempt to
load this module -- I think it's usb-uhci, and it's the same place
the system used to crash in linuxrc when I originally filed this
bug.)  But the system boots properly if we bypass the USB module
entirely.

After boot, the mouse doesn't work at all, with either XFree86 or gpm
-m /dev/psaux.

Networking does work, and X starts (but can't be used because of the
lack of mouse support).
