A thought occurs to me so I ask this... How do I tell what DEVICE
/dev/dasda is associated with?

Jim,
There have been some reports of problems with IPLs after initial installs,
but they were against the Red Hat GA. What you can do is re-IPL your
installation setup, mount the root file system on /mnt (for instance), then
do a "chroot /mnt". From there, cd to /boot, and re-run the silo command.
You should see something similar to this, which will indicate success:
Silo:o->image set to /boot/image-2.2.16-122-tape
Silo:o->ipldevice set to /dev/dasda
Silo:o->parmfile set to /boot/par
Silo:o->bootsect set to /boot/ipleckd.boot
Silo:o->Testonly flag is now 0
Silo:o->Testlevel is set to 0
Silo:o->IPL device is:'/dev/dasda '
Silo:o->bootsector is:'/boot/ipleckd.boot '...ok...
Silo:o->bootmap is:'/boot/image-2.2.16-122-tape ' ....ok...
Silo:o->Kernel image is:'/boot/ipleckd.boot ' ....ok...
Silo:o->original parameterfile is:'/boot/parm '...ok...final parameter
parm is:'/boot/parm ' ....ok...
Silo:ix 0:offset:078523 count:0c address 0x00000000
Silo:ix 1:offset:078530 count:80 address 0x0000c000
Silo:ix 2:offset:0785b0 count:80 address 0x0008c000
Silo:ix 3:offset:078630 count:6f address 0x0010c000
Silo:ix 4:offset:07a8de count:01 address 0x00008000
Silo:Bootmap is in block no:0x00001ed7
At that point, you should "exit" followed by "cd /" followed by "umount
/mnt" followed by re-trying your IPL from the SE.
