Description MTO 2005-01-05 18:51:26 UTC 
Using 2005.3 minimal alpha CD

From SRM, I run "boot dqb0 -flags 0" and aboot loads properly but it fails to load the kernel and drops to an interactive prompt.

The /etc/aboot.conf on the CD has the following in it:
0:boot/gentoo initrd=/boot/gentoo.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc
looptype=zisofs loop=/zisofs cdroot

Unfortunately, neither /boot/gentoo nor /boot/gentoo.igz exist on the
CD! The line should read:
0:boot/linux-2.4.27 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.27 root=/dev/ram0
init=/linuxrc looptype=zisofs loop=/zisofs cdroot

when entered manually, that booted cleanly...



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot LX164
2.load aboot with "boot dqb0" where dqb0 is my cdrom device
3.see failure

Actual Results:  
aboot reports that /boot/gentoo does not exist and drops to the interactive prompt.

Expected Results:  
a booted CD.

2005.3?

I'm going to assume you mean the 2004.3 minimal CD.  This has already been resolved, as there was a 2004.3-r1 minimal (and universal) CD released for Alpha.  You can find the new CD under /releases on your favorite mirror.
