The installer does not update the boot-device openboot (prom) variable. Unless the installation happens to be in the exact place named by the old setting of boot-device, the reboot will fail. It took an hour of googling to figure out what the openboot path is to a SCSI drive attached to a PCI card. For others who end up in the same state: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 is the path for a SCSI drive with ID 2 on a PCI SCSI card in slot 3. Use probe-scsi-all from the openboot prompt to find out most of this. -- Steve Pacenka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
