RE: Boot from hard drive after FTP installation

["Hoover, Tony" <hoover sal ksu edu>]

It looks like you are booting from the CD (scd0) instead of the hard drive.
You should be booting from sda1, sdb2 or something similar.  The 'a' or 'b'
tells you which drive on the scsi bus ( in ascending order), the '1' or '2'
tells you which partition on the drive you want to boot into.  I have not
done an SRM/aboot installation, so I can't give you specifics.
