Hi.
Here is the output from 'show boot*'
>>>show boot*
boot_dev dva0.0.0.1000.0
boot_file vmlinux.gz
boot_osflags root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1
boot_reset OFF
bootdef_dev dva0.0.0.1000.0
booted_file
booted_osflags
I have 3 SCSI Disks, Tape Drive, CD-ROM running off the internal Symbios
Logic SCSI Controler
To boot I issue the following: 'boot dva0'
The Halt 5 error occurs after the following appears on the screen:
aboot: ok, now starting the kernel.
The screen flashes and disappears then the Halt 5 error occurs.
Regards
Craig

Can you tell us the boot command you are using and what the system looks
like (IDE, SCSI disks, CD-ROM etc...). The halt code 5 is pretty generic,
but many times means it couldn't mount the root filesystem.
