SCSI-drivers or the ROM-drivers to load 2nd stage booter and kernel are
missing. The bootloader is to be reprogrammed, if i remember right (Ragge?
you
said something a while ago...), so i didn't have a look into this.

Maybe you need XDELTA to check the ROM routines startaddresses, i have no
idea
currently, as i didn't have a look at it for some months now.
