getting bootparam to compile in linux is very difficult.  Someone did it 
at one time, and I ftped a compiled version from his machine.  find 
someone who has compiled it, or prepare to do a lot of source code 
editing.  (how much I dont' know)
I don't have an ftp server (at least not one on a static ip), but if you 
can get it from the we, and want elf binaries, try

Or I'll (privatly) e-mail it to you.
