Funny thing. That's exactly what I did... but it still didn't boot
(same error). I booted the Indigo using a 4.0.5F (Indigo/Reality
Engine only) CD, upgraded from that disc, then used the 4.0.5F
maintenance disc. No luck...

Further info on the system: 32 MB RAM, 432 MB disk, Elan graphics. The
system had been upgraded to 4.0.5F with the Elan upgrade (a few weeks
back). After installing the R4K board and trying to upgrade from CD,
inst did not seem to try and add very much at all.
