Can you try this? boot /vdevice/v-scsi@30000002/disk@8400000000000000,0:,\boot\loader You could also try deleting the ,0 and adding a 1 or a 2 between the : and then , at the end. Thanks for the real-time debugging here. The CD boot code was built for PowerKVM and apparently they don't find bootable media the same way. -Nathan On 11/14/15 02:58, Pascal Drecker wrote: > Thanks for your help.
