The install itself went smoothly, but after rebooting I can't work out how to boot it. I suspect this should be obvious, but I can't get it and the lack of documentation makes things difficult. So far I've tried the following at the SRM console, all fail: >>> boot >>> boot dka300 >>> boot -file /kernel dka300 >>> boot -file /kernel.GENERIC dka300 What do I need to do to get it to boot?
