Morning all ...

	I have a 4.x system running on an old ALR server ... EISA bus, etc
... the drives are brand new QUANTUM Atlas V's ... the controller is an
Adaptec controller per 3 drives (6 drives total) ...

	This evening, I got a call from the office that, when booting the
machine, it gives a 'Read error', so I went in and tried a few things I
could think of ...

	Finished off with putting in a boot floppy, getting to the 'boot:'
prompt and trying to boot from there, and nadda ...

	lsdev shows the hard drives, and file systems, with the kernel
file system being disk1s1a: ... how should I try and boot from there?
'boot disk1s1a:/kernel'?
