| 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.
Deja Vu; we just went over this last week. You didn't do 'set neweroverride'
before reinstalling the software. This could have been made clearer
in the release notes, but it is documented in the Installation Guide.
