To my knowledge, Open Firmware won't allow to boot from IDE 1
device with these Tanzania machine.
To get sysinst run on 4400 machine, you need either
(1) Have floppy disk boot with boot.fs-written-by-suntar,
boot with boot fd:0
and install from CD.
(2) Openup the box, exchange the connection of IDE 0 and 1,
boot from CDROM, install to wd0,
and exchange the connection again to original.
