RE: Booting Debian on my IPX - I'm close
Aha! I figured it out.
The image name is vmlinuz, not vmlinux!
Thus the correct SILO boot command was /sbus/esp/sd@1,0;1/vmlinuz
root=/dev/sda4
Now that I have Debian booted, how can I fix this so I won't have to enter
in this string of garbage to boot the system whenever I need to?
