I've finally got the installer to recognize the nics, and everything seemed to work until the reboot. I told the installer to make debian boot from the hard disk, and now when I boot I get to an aboot> prompt. If I type in 'l' I get:
0:2/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/sda2 So I type 0 and press enter, and I get vmlinuz: file not found. So I type d and see that there is, in fact, a file named vmlinuz, but no boot. Next I type p 1 to look in the first partition for configuration/kernel. Then I type d and see that the kernel is named vmlinuz-2.2.18pre21-generic. Ok, so I try: aboot> boot vmlinuz-2.2.18pre21-generic ro root=/dev/sda2 Things look ok until right after the partition check the last couple of lines on the screen say: VFS: Cannot open root device 00:de Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:de I can boot fine if I use the boot disk I created during install (>>> boot dva0 from srm). When partitioning my hard disk, I started the fist partition at the second cylinder as recommended in the installation docs. Is there something else that I missed?
