    sigh ...

    ok, i tried this before and it failed to boot. but this morning i figured i'd
    grab another box out of my cluster and try it and it indeed does boot fine.
    there must be a hardware problem on the first box. thanks Joerg-Uwe for
    prompting me to get up and have another go at it!

    You must boot the "tga" kernel "vm_tga.gz" from the SuSE 6.4 CD No.1.

    >>>boot dkaxx -fl 4 . (dkaxx is your cd-rom drive.)

    Hope it helps.
