Ugh. Please don't post html and text to this list.  Please post just
text. 

Make sure your srm console "console" enviroment matches reality.
It sounds like your console is set to serial & you're using a graphics 
head.  Use "show console" to check for this.


So do:

>>> set console graphics
>>> init
<...>
>>> show console
graphics
>>> boot dka500 (or wherever your cd is..)


BTW: Linux "works" because it is broken & ignores the setting of this
variable.

Cheers,

Drew
