Re: AW: SILO problem on a T1000

["Iván Chavero" <ichavero@uach.mx>]

I've tried with all the partitions of that disk a thru h:
/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0
/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a
/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0:b
/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0:c
...

and get the same error:



Rebooting with command: boot disk:a
Boot device: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a  File and args:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.

I don't really know what is wrong here.
