It may not help you, but I had the same symptoms once with a SGI Indy: It could netboot, install (ext2) and everything was fine. When I rebooted to finish the install, the bootloader found nothing to boot or crashed right away. In this case it turned out that I had jumpered a CD-ROM to parity ON on the same SCSI-bus as the local harddisk I was installing on. This caused massive corruption, 'cause the controler was switched to parity OFF. (before I found out I had already pulled out *some* hair...) How many SCSI-devices are on your bus and how are they wired together? HTH, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.
