That's because the "loading ELF" message is from the OF trying to load
the loader, not from the loader trying to load the kernel.

Can you try booting with the "ultra0" and "ultra1" aliases which I
mentioned in my previous mail, to select one or the other hard disk?
Do a "reset-all" if a boot attempt failed to avoid the "CLAIM failed"
messages.

Thanks,
Marco.
