With my current Hatari LILO functionality, I get same with TT emulation, 
but Falcon emulation gets somewhat further (more details in another
mail).

Stefan Niestegge posted a video of booting Linux on his 90 MHz Falcon
with 14MB/512MB ST/TT RAM:

David Henderson posted then video of same on stock Falcon + FPU:

(Main issue with latter is having just 14MB => requires special builds.)

So it actually works on real Falcon HW, just not in Hatari.
