Now in the prom I resetenv so that: SystemPartition = pci(0)scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8) then ran arcboot - then it says it can't find the arcboot.conf or an ext2fs. Then it says to adjust OSLoadPartition to pci(0)scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2) Which I tried with no success I also tried pci(0)scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1) with no success. My boot partition is on sda1, root is sda3, and swap is sda2. any ideas what I'm doing dumb? On Mon, 2004-11-29 at 15:46, Stephen P.
