    boot /pci/ide/disk@X,X:X boot di-2004.03.15 root=/dev/hdYY


    My first instinct was to try this as well. It hung up on me, though. The string is nearly identical to the one for the install except that "devfs=mount" is left out. I assume that was needed for the network connection to the install files.

    Makes perfect sense to use the same kernal that successfully booted for the installation, but is that the most current Peg II compatible version? I was thinking that if I was able to get through the install, I may be able to use vmlinuz again. Perhaps not, though.

    I will try variations on the root=/dev/hdYY part to see if that helps.

    (ooopps...just realized the string you gave me has an extra "boot" in there prior to "di-2004.03.15". Was that intentional? Perhaps that was my problem.)


    Sven, I haven't ignored your suggestions. I am exploring all options.

    Thanks!!
