I forgot to say:

aboot 0.7a-1

SRM console v5.1-3
 
It works better if I install the boot block on the first SCSI disk of
the bus. Now, I can get aboot, but it says:

aboot: loading uncompressed vmlinuz...
aboot: loading compressed vmlinuz...
failed to send Read to dkb0.0.0.2.1
[repeated several times]
ext2_blkno: error on iblk read
[loop forever]

(vmlinuz is there, I can see it with 'd' or from the shell after I
boot from a floppy.)
