I tried the settings from my working O2 on the newly installed one,
and it doesn't auto boot. Does it matter that my partition tables
look as follows?
Working O2:
# fdisk /dev/sda
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda (SGI disk label): 64 heads, 32 sectors, 8682 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes

I noticed that arcboot didn't install on the new one. I can't
remember if it installed on the working one during install or if I had
installed it manually afterwards.
