Stuck H3660

I have got my new IPAQ H3660 in a state where it quickly
loads the kernel (with backlight turned off) and panics
because it cannot find the root file system.

Can I fix it?

I tried to get a serial boot prompt so I can reflash.
But I don't think I can stop the kernel load.

A shame that the on/off swictch is unaccessable
when the IPAQ is in the cradle.

If I turn on the IPAQ and very, very quickly put it
into the the cracle, I may manage to see some output
on the serial console. It is shown at the bottem of
this letter.

Last, I have installed pocketlinux on it.
The reason for that was that I wanted to
try qte from trolltech. The qte install
guide is as simple as:

1) Install linux as described on handhelds.org.
   So, I installed familiar 0.4.
2) Replace /usr with the qte image.
   But familiar 0.4 has no /usr partition to
   replace, so ..??.

New try. Now, I installed pocketlinux. It has
a /usr partition which I can try to replace
with qte later.
I already have the osloader-1.3.0 installed.
Next step: Copy bootldr-c002-2.9.5 to the root
directory with ActiveSync. How should I do that?
The IPAQ was not running WinCE. Step skipped.

For the rest of it, I did exactly as told in
http://www.pocketlinux.com/doc/guide/html/chap.installing.html
Everything seemed fine.

Now the sad result. The kernel cannot find the root device and
says Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00.
Can I get it back to life? I'm even willing to restore wince
if I can. I have saved the four backup images.

Here is the serial console output:
