[parisc-linux] Network bootproblem with 712/80

[Peter Mottram]

I tried messing as per my previous mail but the net boot fails miserably.
I get the following output in the console (some lines truncated beyond my
control).....

Edit which field?
(or 'b' to boot with this command line)? b

Command line for kernel: 'ncr53c8xx=burst:3 HOME=/ root=/dev/ram
console=ttyS0 '
Selected kernel: /vmlinux32 from partition 0
Selected ramdisk: /ramdisk from partition 0

ERROR: Read from boot device failed (status = -3).
byteio_read: seekread() returned -1 expected 2048

                                             Couldn't grok your kernel exect
ERROR: failed to load kernel


I will try again later with a lifimage from 0.9.2 as I used that some time
ago without any problems.
