  "It does not boot."  - I can think of a whole lot of things that would
cause the system to not boot.  A little more information would be useful
(does the system even see the disk, does the PROM complain about the
bootblock data on the disk, does the bootblock have problems finding the
kernel, does the kernel even start, etc...).

  Hmm - what is the memory configuration in the 5000/240?  I've seen a
problem mentioned on OpenBSD that seemed to indicate a problem with a
5000/240 that had 8M SIMMS installed.
