Problems dual-booting and soft-reset

I've been trying to dual-boot both a 3670 and a 3760. I cannot get
either to work. Both running bootldr 2.18.16. My 3670 is running
familiar 0.5.1 fine. The 3760 is running wince 2002.

First the soft-reset problem. With 2.18.16, every time the power button
was used to turn off the ipaq, and turn it on, it always came up with
the red/white welcome screen with the version numbers in the lower
right corner. I finally had to revert it to 2.18.01. That works no
problem, just no dual-boot ability.

Now, I've followed http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/BootingLinuxFromCF
to setup my 32m CF card:

sh-2.03# fdisk /dev/hda

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hda: 4 heads, 32 sectors, 496 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 128 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 81 5168 6 FAT16
/dev/hda2 82 496 26560 83 Linux

Right now, under familiar, hda1 is /mnt/cf and hda2 is /mnt/root
sh-2.03# ls -CRF /mnt/cf
/mnt/cf:
boot/

/mnt/cf/boot:
initrd* params* zimage*

and that params file is:
set linuxargs "initrd root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc console=ttySA0"
set kernel_filename boot/zimage

I downloaded the kernel/initrd/params off that webpage, and I unpacked
the task-complete onto the linux partition (ext2). The task-bootstrap
file was corrupt. I tried to boot with the 'Q' key, but that didn't
work, same message as below. Next, I did a mv zImage foo; mv foo zimage
but that didn't change anything.

Here's the output, it doesn't seem to find zimage:

The dual-boot FAQ http://www.handhelds.org/handhelds-faq/dualboot.html
suggests:
set linuxargs "initrd root=/dev/rd/0 console=/dev/ttySA0 init=/linuxrc"

but I don't think i'm getting that far, and the only obvious difference
is the root device, does it matter?

Any suggestions. This seems like a nice way to test a new kernel, and
also ease users into linux, both things I'm trying to do.
