#
# I've been trying to boot from the floppy on my 166MHz Multia with no
# success. I go through all the ARC console menus to "Boot alternate
# OS", and regardless of which one I choose, it tells me I need to
# reboot the machine. So I do. It always comes up to the ARC console.
#
# What am I doing wrong?
#
Wrong console.. you need to set the multia to use the srm console, then use
"boot -flags 'a' dva0" at the >>> prompt.
