new install on blade 100 won't boot after poweroff
I've managed to get sarge with kernel 2.4 installed on a blade 100,
but it won't reboot after a poweroff -- it hangs at running init.
(Rebooting was OK until the poweroff, and I've reproduced this through
a couple of re-installations.) I don't know whether the same thing
happens with the 2.6 kernel, but it seems X still doesn't work with
that anyway.
Any suggestions about the cause and a fix? I guess openboot is a
likely culprit. It's got 4.0 on it -- what version is recommended?
This was off http://www.acm.cs.rpi.edu/~dilinger/iso.img. Where
should one report problems with that (apart from this one)?
Also, how should you specify root to use it as a rescue CD? When I
use `rescue root=/dev/hda1' it fails to find /, though it is there.
(I've not tried rescue disks before with sparc.)
