I am trying to upgrade an Indigo Elan from R3000 to R4000 and have run
into a bit of a problem: when I try to boot the machine (with R4000)
installed, I get the following error message:

  Cannot load scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8)/sash
  Unable to load bootfile: not enough space

Also, if I try running diagnostics from the PROM monitor, I get:

  Cannot load scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8)ide
  Error 16 while loading scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8)ide

I have no problem booting the machine from CD (which I did to upgrade
to 4.0.5F). Also, if I replace the old R3000 board, the machine boots
fine as well.

Any suggestions?

-Terry
