Altix 350 + Debian setup won't boot
I've been scouring the internet and even this mailing list trying to
find what might be the problem with getting Debian installed on my
setup, but so far nothing has changed what I'm experiencing. I know
several of you are running Debian on Altix 350's and was hoping to get
your input.
I've got the latest Etch stable netboot CD, and when I put it in the
drive and boot from fs0: using elilo, I get 3 choices. Install, Install
Expert, and Rescue.
I've chosen all three options, and even used CONSOLE=ttySG0, but I get
the following and then it just doesn't go on.

End of story. That's all I ever seem to get no matter what options I
try on the boot line. Can someone give me a pointer?
