Installation Problem

[junk email]

Hi Wilson,

I was able to boot from the ide cd-rom at first then
it failed to read after the vmlinux was load.

...
aboot: loading compressed /kernels/vmlinux.gz ...
aboot: zero-filling 343920 bytes at 0xfffffc0000ab8690
aboot: loading initrd (2260350 bytes / 2207 blocks) at
0xfffff0000fce4000
failed to send read to dqa0.0.0.11.0
...
