I didn't find a way to pass parameters to the boot, but I found an interactive boot mode. I had to disable pcmcia and netfs, then it booted.

Thanks for the reminder about the startup stuff... I haven't done Linux enough to learn this stuff very well, and then I dropped it for a few months, so none of it's second-nature and I've forgotten a lot of the details. Changing the order sounds like a good thing to try.
