Hi!

After getting a custom kernel with scsi disk support in it to netboot,
I used sgiboot, sgivol, disklabel and newfs to create a bootable hard disk.
I set up the partitions as outlined in
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sgimips/2001/10/29/0007.html
The box no longer boots.

Here's a dump of the box booting before it froze:

Timer calibration, got 665000 cycles (665000, 665000, 665000)
CPU clock speed = 66.50Mhz

At this point the serial console froze. The prom reported the cpu
as being a 133mhz cpu, but netbsd always saw it as 66.5mhz for some reason.

Whenever I switch on the box now, the light on the front goes red, and stays
that way. Nothing is sent out the serial port, or over the network. There is
also no power up sound. I have checked the power supply unit, and it appears
to be functioning correctly. The power and reset buttons don't appear
to work at all. I've tried switching it off for several hours and waiting
before booting again with no luck. I have also tried unplugging the hard disk
and it's power supply.

Any ideas? This is quite concerning. I'm a bit lost as to what to do.


Thanks for your time.
