The kernel from jensen17.img has to be started by giving aboot the following line (sans stuff in double quotes): aboot> b 0/a "put_your_boot_options_partitions_etc_here" The reason is that aboot only boots kernels from the same medium it resides on (aka the same scsi device as jensens only boot from scsi devices).
