I've tried with all the partitions of that disk a thru h:
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],0
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],0:a
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],0:b
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],0:c
...

and get the same error:



Rebooting with command: boot disk:a
Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:a  File and args:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.

I don't really know what is wrong here.

Hi Ivan,
from what I read from your mail and given that /dev/sda1 is your root partition 
(containing /boot as well) I'd guess that you ought to test (in openboot):

probe-scsi-all

You are trying to boot like:

Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0

this refers to the SCSI ID 0 on controller 2 but you do not specify the 
apropriate partition. So what you need to test is:

probe-scsi-all

what ought to give you something like

/[EMAIL PROTECTED],4000,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1
Target 1
Unit 0 Disk IBM DGVS09U 03B0

/[EMAIL PROTECTED],4000,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Target 6
Unit 0 Removable Read Only device

If you want to boot of one of those you hafe to specify:
boot /[EMAIL PROTECTED],4000,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:f 
(harddisk)

boot /[EMAIL PROTECTED],4000,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:f (cdrom)

This gives:
-> pci - device at 1f, 4000

[EMAIL PROTECTED],1     *external* Controller channel

[EMAIL PROTECTED]     harddisk with scsi-id 1

,0         LUN 0

:f         Partition F

this can constantly be integrated by setting
nvalias /[EMAIL PROTECTED],4000,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:f 
extdisk

being "extdisk" an example. The variables can be printed via the command 
"devalias"

In general: Strg-P returns the last commandline in openboot (as "little" help).

Hope this helps,
take care
