The Debian install disks said that I have to use those wierd BSD disk
labels, so I regetfully did :<

Anyhow, I now have disks like this:

BSD disklabel command (m for help): p

5 partitions:
# start end size fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
  a: 2 205 204 ext2
  b: 206 612 407 swap
  c: 1 59560 59560 unused 0 0
  d: 613 20930 20318 ext2
  e: 20930 59560 38631 ext2

Compilied a 2.4.3 kernel and it gurgled along fine, until

hda: unknown partition table
then right at the end the kernel panics because it cannot find the root
partition.

I had
CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL=y

so what doesn't it like?
