Ok, I've thoroughly messed things up so I'm going to have to do a clean install of / :-( (backing some stuff up off /home just in case the installer decides to wreak havoc with home... most stuff has been backed up fortunately already). Anyway, I STILL can't get init=/dev/hdc8 (and a million and one permutations thereof) to work! It keeps saying that ext3 fs not found on dev hdc6. (that's my OS 9/X boot partition; hdc7 is HFS+ storage and hdc8 is /). Hmm. I just noticed you wrote ROOT=/dev/hdc8. I'll try that now and keep fingers crossed.
