It's booting!  I've got my Qube to netboot , now I'm trying to get it to 
boot from disk. I'm sure I've mangled the disk setup.
What steps do I take to make it boot from disk? It's different than the 
i386 boot, right?

Here's the message:

BOOTLOADER ramcode: selected partition /dev/hda1
Decompressing done

Jump_to_Real_Kernel: disk error, trying BFD again
BOOTLOADER ramcode: selected partition /dev/hdc1
