Nope..."setenv console *" does not change anything: the system loads from cdrom
easily, gets me into sysinstall and through...but when i try to load it from
sd0....stuck at the first 7 figures after secondary bootstrap....

bum hdd? or is there a trick in sysinst that i do wrong? i just use /, /root and
swap on 900mb

	Try "setenv console *" for graphics console or "setenv console s" 
before typing the boot command.If you are on a serial console, make sure 
that you have RTS/CTS (hardware handshaking aka Modem control) flow 
control enabled. I'll dig my 5000/200 motherboard out of the closet and 
see if it works for me early next week if you still can't get it to boot.
