Booting with "boot net linux root=/dev/sda1" hangs at
Sorry, my fault. Usually I also have a vmlinux.aout image in my
netboot install area too, and _this_ is what I use to recover from
failed silo invocations during an install.
I've built such an image that should hopefully work just fine for this
purpose. Get it from:
ftp.cobaltmicro.com:/pub/users/davem/images/vmlinux.aout
Good luck.
