Hi all!
I am trying to install Gentoo on API CS20 computer, but when it is loading kernel image it hang up.
I use SCSI disk. Do i need to use special parameter into flag option for to boot Linux with SCSI disk?
I use:
"boot dka1500 -flags 0" for kernel 2.6
"boot dka1500 -flags 1" for kernel 2.4
Thanks.

" boot dka1500 -flags "root=/dev/sdxx console=ttyS0"
Thanks to all.

My Question is this, I have a CS20, I'm trying to get Gentoo on the machine, I just got Debian on the machine, that works. My question is this: when I go to boot the cdrom dqb0 i use
API CS20D 833 MHz Console A5.8-81, 08-MAY-2001 00:09:13
P00>>>boot dqb0 -flags "console=ttyS0"
which brings me to aboot
again
aboot> 0 "console=ttyS0"
Which brings me too
aboot: loading uncompressed /boot/gentoo...
aboot: loading compressed /boot/gentoo...
aboot: zero-filling 152912 bytes at 0xfffffc000082c280
aboot: loading initrd (2161967 bytes/2111 blocks) at 0xfffffc007fc3e000
aboot: starting kernel /boot/gentoo with arguments root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc
dokeymap looptype=zisofs loop=/zisofs cdroot
Which means I don't think it's sending information out to the serial port after that. I've fiddled with it, and I can't seem to get past there. From what I can see the machine seems to be running fine. What am I doing wrong here?

Try typing in the whole kernel command line:
