i should have mentioned that, i initially was trying to boot from the cd
with the good old srm console, and i was running into the same problem (as
well as others). i then found a guide that told me about the milo floppy
from the arc console, boot disk, ram disk, blah blah blah. still the same
problem. this machine is running the last firmware released, and it has
both srm and arc consoles.
ive basically tried everything from head first plunging into the install
to following the official installation guide. im definately not getting
something.
