It is possible that your disk is external or is not in the primary SCSI
disk slot. Stop-A, as you have been doing. Type 'probe-scsi-all' to
see where you disk is located. Type 'devalias' and find the matching
alias (i.e. "disk1"). Set a new default boot device with "setenv
boot-device ". Then "reset" and all should be
well with the world; well, depending upon where you installed SILO
If you are worried that other OBP settings may be incorrect, you can
hold down Stop-N during the boot process to reset your NVRAM parameters
to defaults.

I don’t have that option. Autoboot is set to true, and it tries to boot to
net by default. Of course I can stop + A. If I remember correctly, I need to
specify to boot to the hard drive. I know how to boot to the hard drive, but
not set it as default. Also, my device path to the hard drive seems to be
incorrect.

Subject: Re: SS20 boot problem
actually when the OBP boot: prompt comes up just hit enter
when you try "boot disk" you have to provide the device and the boot image
(iirc)
I have an SS10, SS20, and Ultra 5 all running debian. I never provide
parameters to the OBP prompt unless I want to boot from the CDROM or floppy
