Stupid question, is the processor you are trying to boot the same as the other processors using the same NFS RFS? Not all PPCs are created equally. Just a thought... But my target believe it was able to correctly open the file because it is parsing the header of the file to determine the file

Hello, if you get to the bash prompt you could try to start the init program manually. This should result in more useful error messages. Hope it helps, Wolfgang. On 12/04/2002 11:11 PM Brian Waite wrote: I did this. I tried to start a staticly linked ash shell to no avail. No libs are
