[plug] Milo won't boot

[Bennett, Phillip]

Hey all,

After installing REDHAT on an Alpha Server 1000RM, It wouldn't boot at all!
I finally found a copy of MILO that was supposed to run on it, and quickly
installed it..  Trouble is, MILO won't boot properly...  Here is the message
I get at the prompt after typing
"MILO> boot sda1:/boot/vmlinux-2.2.13-0.9"

.....

ncr53c810-0-<3,*>: FAST-10 SCSI 10.0 MB/s (100 ns, offset 8)

Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02



Can anyone see what is happening here?  Is there anything I can do to stop
it mounting the drive?  I have two of these machines, one booting from the
ARC console, the other through SRM, both giving the exact same result.

TIA,
Phil


PS : Thanks for the info last post Colin.
