sgi o2, no configuration found for this label (solved)

hi guys, as some of you might be aware, i've been trying to learn linux and get my sgi o2 to install and run it.

the problem i am getting is when the sgi o2 goes to boot, i get a mesasge saying

"no configuration found for this label" this happens before the kernel tries to load...

this is the arc.cf i wrote...

#arcload configuration
#some default settings
append root=/dev/sda3;
append ro;
append console=ttys0,9600

#Main definitions

ip32 {
working {
description sgi 02
image system /working

}
}

and i set the o2 console up with the following commands

Setenv SystemPartition scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(

Setenv Autoload Yes
Setenv OSLoader sashARCS
Setenv OSLoadFilename working

When the o2 tries to boot I am getting a error message saying

no configuration found for this label

so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on where I went wrong?

The plus side being I think Ive learned more then I could have hoped about linux over the last couple of months while trying to get this sgi o2 to boot gentoo

)

many thanks guys

That should be... setenv OSLoadFilename ip32(working) ... The "working" label is inside the "ip32" label.

now i get, something like,

loading configuration for 'ip32working'...
invalid term in the token '}' state TERM (expected ';' ).

i take it this means i entered a } when i should have entered a ;

opps

No no no... not ip32working, it's ip32(working).

It also appears, you missed some semicolons in your arc.cf. ;-)

thanks for the help redhatter

the last post was a typo i did actually mean ip32(working)

it now just says "entering kernel."

then just hangs so it looks like i did something wrong else where... opps...

looks like its back to the drawing board....
