At this point in the install rhsetup calls zipl to write a boot record.
It creates a file called zipl.conf in the /etc directory.
The problem is that the kernel that you are running is 2.4.9-17tape
however the kernel name that the install script write in zipl is
2.4.9-17-tape. So when zipl runs it tries to retrieve information for
the kernel but it cannot find it.
Use uname -r to get the correct kernel version.
The install should now be completed and all you have to do is change
zipl.conf and run the zipl program.
Try booting form the install media (I guess from tape in your case) then
telnet into the machine. Instead of running the installation again you
need to mount the root filesystem edit the /etc/zipl.conf file and then
run zipl
I've attached my zipl.conf file as a sample - obviously the parameters
will be different - but these should be correctly entered already by the
install.
