A little trouble for MVME2400 boot from HD

Fri Jul 9 08:43:21 EST 1999

Hi,

I would like to boot linux on a MVME2400 from a SCSI HD; I set a primary
partition (it was /dev/sda3, about 3Mb) as 0x041 and made it bootable;
then and I copied a zImage file on it using dd. 

The ioi results for the controller are 
PPC4-Bug>ioi                                                                    
I/O Inquiry
Status:

1487        

But when I gave:
PPC4-Bug>pboot 10 50
3                                                          

the result was: 
Booting from: NCR53C825, Controller 10, Drive

Free-Available Memory =01F74000
(&32980992)                                     

I'm missing something on the kernel image preparation? Or I have to use
another command?

Thank you in advance.
