I'm beginning to think that the problem is the boot-floppies kernel not getting along with the Cube. I've set up dhcp and tftp, I can boot via 'boot enet:,yaboot', yaboot loads correctly, it reads yaboot.conf and loads the kernel (yaboot.conf is attached to this message), and then I get the DO-QUIESCE nuttiness again. Some questions: 1. Does the resolution of the fb matter at all (I'm running at 1280x1024 right now)? 2. Is there a set of 2.4-based boot-floppies out there somewhere that I can try? 3. Is there something else I need to be adding to the append= statement? I'm going to try to netboot a 2.4-based kernel. If that works, I'll report back. In the meantime, any assistance would earn my deepest gratitude.
