This means the cobalt firmware fails to load a boot file
from Linux ext2fs partition, i.e.
- no Linux Root partition in MBR
- no valid ext2fs partition
- no valid boot file (/boot/vmlinux.gz or so)
etc.

Hmm, I can't test it right now because I've been in my hometown
during new year holidays, but I'll see how the problem can be
reproduced.
