You appear to be booting from the SRM console. In order to
make Linux bootable from the hard drive, you will need to
create an OSF/1 style disklabel rather than a DOS partition
table. Since the 'cfdisk' program is unable to create OSF/1
disklabels, I will start 'fdisk' instead. You must use the
'b' command to enter disklabel mode.
As well, because the 'aboot' second-stage bootloader must
occupy the first sector of the disk, you will need to leave
about a megabyte of empty space before the first partition
On most drives, it should suffice to start the 'a' partition
at cylinder 2, or the equivalent in sectors (use the 'u'
command to switch units, and the 'm' command for help.)
