This is my etc/aboot.conf, all the "default" stuff is there but commented out mainly so I can run it similar to grub on i386. #These are the manually edited ones GJF put in. 0:2/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-generic ro initrd=/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-generic root=/dev/sda3 sym53c8xx="debug:0x80" 1:2/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-generic ro initrd=/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-generic root=/dev/sda3 sym53c8xx="debug:0x80" single 2:2/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-smp ro initrd=/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-smp root=/dev/sda3 sym53c8xx="debug:0x80" 3:2/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-smp ro initrd=/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-smp root=/dev/sda3 sym53c8xx="debug:0x80" single 4:2/vmlinuz-2.4.27-1-generic ro initrd=/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-generic root=/dev/sda3 sym53c8xx="debug:0x80" 5:2/vmlinuz-2.4.27-1-generic ro initrd=/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-generic root=/dev/sda3 sym53c8xx="debug:0x80" single in my SRM console I have these vars set like this: set auto_action boot set boot_osflags 2 my SRM defaults booting from : dka0 (can't remember the var name) my "/" partition == /dev/sda3 and is ext2 (really ext3, the journal was added after install) my "/boot" partition == /dev/sda2 and is ext2 For the record, I hate the symlink to the kernel cruft.
