.... because your hard drives are on controller 1, not controller 0.
It's been a long time since I had to fool with this, but IIRC, you
need to set the following with setenv:
SystemPartition dksc(1,1,
OSLoadPartition dksc(1,1,0)
kernname dksc(1,1,0)/unix
That will set your boot device to controller 1, drive 1, which, from
your hinv output, is the one you want.
Maybe.

Challenge L blues..

Hello,
After I performed a "resetenv" in the prom of my Challenge L it refuses
to startup.
During the boot sequence I get the following message:
| Quote: |
Starting up the system... |
Unable to execute dksc(0,1,/sash: no such device
Unable to load bootfile: no such device
Autoboot failed
Unable to continue; press <enter> to return to the menu:
Checking SCIP IOA 5 on IO4 in slot 4 -- passed.
I have tried to reinstall IRIX 6.5 via network but this also fails.
The machine does not seem to recognise the disks anymore. Does anybody
know how I can get the Challenge to boot ?
The machine was running IRIX 6.5 , hinv :
