Re[2]: SRM booting issue was: Re: xp1000 problems with upgrade to 2.4.18-generic
Hi Keith
From http://www.alphalinux.org I found those instructions, which worked
for my machine (Digital Server 7000R):
set bootdef_dev "dkb0" Sets the boot device
set boot_file "1/vmlinux" Sets which file to boot from
set boot_action "boot" Sets the boot action to autoboot
set boot_osflags "root=/dev/sda1" Tells the kernel where root is
set auto_action boot Auto boot
I know it seems it's a double definition...but usually when things work,
people do not care about it no more...:-)
Try it.
Greetings, Adrian.
