two problems

These problems probably aren't rare, but I haven't been able to find the
solutions. First, ever since I installed the task-intimate-modules
package, my x server has no longer worked. On booting, it tells me that
it can't open h3600_ts and then fails to connect to the x server. When
I try to run Xfbdev manually, it says 'LinuxInit: Cannot open /dev/tty0
(No such file or directory)

I assume there is a configuration file somewhere that I can tell it to
use ttySA0 instead of tty0, but I can't seem to find it.

Second, when installing intimate, it gets all the way to the point where
it should be installing the intimateboot package and configuring my
bootparams, and then fails. Here are the relevant error messages:

Now.. let's have a look at those bootparams

/mnt/ramfs/usr/lib/ipkg/info/intimateboot.postinst: /sbin/ipaqbb: not found
/mnt/ramfs/usr/lib/ipkg/info/intimateboot.postinst: /sbin/ipaqbb: not found

Your linuxargs need to contain devfs=mount and init=/linuxrc.intimate
In order to correctly boot with this package installed.
Answering 'y' to the following question will set your bootparams to the
following:
noinitrc root=/dev/mtdblock3 init=/linuxrc.intimate console=ttySA0
devfs=mount

Would you like me to set your bootparams for you? [y/n]? y

BAD [:(]

Something has gone wrong here...
Restoring your old params block...512+0 records in
512+0 records out
Ack Ack Ack...
Couldn't set params, and can't restore paramsblock - is it write protected?

I have no idea why it can't find ipaqbb, since a bit earlier it had just
finished telling me that it had successfully downloaded and installed
'ipaqbb.tgz'. I also tried setting those bootparams manually from the
bootldr, but after it booted with those parameters, /linuxrc.intimate no
longer existed. There is also no /sbin/ipaqbb file. Does anyone know
what is going wrong here?
