I had the similar problem. Upon booting I was greeting with the
following:
Boot device: linux File and args:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
ok
By issuing the following command:
boot disk:0
I was able to reboot. I did not get a chance yet to see how to make this
automatic upon reboot.
But at least you do not need to reload anything... 8-)
