Do you end up with some sort of prompt after diags?


Is this a prompt that you call boot section?


Does the spinning cursor freeze? Or does it just not progress but the cursor is still spinning?

As DukeNuke2 asks, what hardware platform is it?
Set to autoboot in the prom so it starts to boot from the relevant disk.

Cursor spins for about 2 mins and then freezes.
