I'm not familiar with the way this error message is generated, but I
"assumed" (oops, maybe that's where I went wrong) that the error said
".0x3" instead of "0x340" because that's what was given to the boot
prompt. However, if this is not a typo on your part, either in the boot
parameters or in your report of the error, then in the immortal words of
(I believe) Rosanna Rosanna Danna, "Never mind" :)
