Did anyone read my bloody reply to Terry on this topic?
The problem here is that what the loader is reading out of the file is
wrong. The ELF code in the loader is rejecting the read data. Wilko has
confirmed that the CD itself is fine.
Huston, we have a loader filesystem problem...
Please, try using 'more' in the loader to read a large (>8k) text
document from somewhere; one of the loader's 4th files would do it. Make
sure it looks right.
