[Solved] Type 7043-150 does not boot

Hello,

I have an older RS/6000 system and it is not booting. It just keeps rebooting. If I try to put in the 5.3 install media it just sits at Starting Software...Please wait

I searched other posts that say to go into maintenance mode from SMS menu and check if the filesystems are full and/or corrupted and to unmirror them if they're mirrored. My SMS menu does not have a Maintenance mode that I know of. I have Config, Multiboot, Utilities, and Exit. I did go in and see that there are two 5gb drives on it. I also tried to use a diagnostic cd but it wouldn't boot either. I was able to get to an OK prompt but it didn't seem to recognize any commands.

It has firmware TCP99006. I think the firmware should be updated to TCP05287 but I can no longer find it on the IBM site. Any help and or suggestions with this would be greatly appreciated.

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD

kloader

KLOADER(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						KLOADER(4)

NAME

     kloader -- in-kernel bootloader

SYNOPSIS

     options KLOADER
     options KLOADER_KERNEL_PATH=""/netbsd""

DESCRIPTION

     The kloader is the in-kernel bootloader for platforms that do not have a proper firmware.

     Some platforms supported by NetBSD do not have a firmware that can boot the NetBSD kernel.  Examples are game consoles (dreamcast port), and
     handhelds (hpcarm, hpcmips, and hpcsh ports).  On such platforms the bootloader is usually a host program that runs under the native OS.
     This means that rebooting NetBSD is a lengthy process of booting into the native OS first, launching the bootloader program, and finally
     booting NetBSD again.  This problem is addressed by kloader, which allows the currently running kernel to serve as a bootloader for the ker-
     nel being booted, thus avoiding the burden of booting into the native OS first.

     When kloader is configured into the kernel, a call to reboot(2) causes the kloader to load the new kernel into memory, and arrange for con-
     trol to be passed to the new kernel -- just like a standalone bootloader does.  The new kernel then boots in the ordinary manner.

SEE ALSO

     reboot(2), boot(8), reboot(8)

HISTORY

     kloader first appeared in NetBSD 1.6.

BUGS

     kloader ignores howto and bootstr arguments passed to the reboot(2) system call, and reboots the system with the previous boot settings.

     kloader doesn't support booting compressed kernels.

     The hpcarm port doesn't support kloader yet.
