3305 RH6 Post Install SRM

["Chris Cohen" <ccohen inmind com>]

Hello again,

I've successfully booted off the CD and installed/partitioned/etc.  Upon
restart I noticed that the SRM console settings: "boot_osflags, boot_dev,
etc." were all still set for booting off the floppy (which is what I tried
first before the CD boot)which means the machine isn't booting from the new
install. I'd like it to boot from SRM at startup so I've tried the
following:

------------------------------------------------
FIRST I tried

>>>set boot_file 2/boot/vmlinux.gz
>>>set bootdef_dev dka0
>>>set boot_osflags "root=/dev/sdahda21"
>>>boot dva0 -fi vmlinux.gz

to boot from floppy and then install kernel on hdisk with swriteboot?
Didn't know if this was necessary since I suspected the install CD already
did this? This results in the same error as before:

halted CPU 0

halt code = 5
HALT instruction executed
PC = fffffc0000310088
boot failure
>>>
-------------------------------------------------

AND I've tried:

>>>set boot_file 2/boot/vmlinux.gz
>>>set bootdef_dev dka0
>>>set boot_osflags "root=/dev/sda6"  (during install it said it partitioned
dev sda6?)
>>>boot dka0 -fi vmlinux.gz (to boot off my hd?)

This gives me the error that the first block of this device (dka0.0.5.0)is
not a valid boot block.

---------------------------------------------------
AND LAST I've tried:

>>>set boot_file 2/boot/vmlinux.gz
>>>set bootdef_dev dka0
>>>set boot_osflags "root=/dev/sda6"  (during install it said it partitioned
dev sda6?)
>>>boot dka400 -fi kernels/generic.gz (to boot off my cd?)

This just starts the install process again.

Thanks in advance.
