It disappeared because the (too large?) initrd is no longer loaded...

Are you sure that is what you really used?

I missed this before, but all kernels that failed to mount their root
file systems, and printed no "initrd: <start> - <end>" lines, had the
"-r <initrd>" parameter in the kernel command line part:

    Kernel command line: ignore_loglevel -r initrd.img-5.19.0-1-m68k
root=/dev/sda2 fb=false debug=mem BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinux-5.19.0-1-m68k

Hence Amiboot didn't provide the initrd...
