O2 can't boot off disk directly (that is, load a kernel from the volume header |
10 |
like IP22). You have to use arcboot for that. Arcboot's a hair slow at |
11 |
reading kernels off disk, but wesolows made a wicked patch I'm going to test |
12 |
soon and put into portage which will dramatically speed up disk loading. |

Just `emerge arcboot`, and follow the instructions printed after the build |
15 |
finishes, and things should work out fine. If not, drop a note here about it. |
