Q: Boot from hard drive after FTP installation

["Wang, Kai" <kwang mail public-health uiowa edu>]

Hi,  

How to boot from hard drive after a successful FTP installation?  (Boot from
disk is OK but can not start ethernet connection.)  The machine is XP1000.  

I followed closely the installation instruction found at Compaq's website.
Also tried many different parameters.  Here is the best I can get:

  ....
aboot: valid disklabel found: 3 partitions.
aboot: booted_dev=`scsi 0 13 0 0 0 0 0', guessing boot_device=`scd0'
aboot: loading compressed boot/vmlinux.gz...

unzip: unknown compression method
aboot: loading plain boot/vmlinux.gz...
aboot: unexpected object file format 0
Enter kernel name and arguments:
aboot>
  ...

Why unzip instead of gunzip is used?  Why there is no such warning when
booting from disk?   

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Kai
