Re: IBM RS/6000 - more trouble or just my terminal?

Looks like to me you installed the system onto the disk, but wrote the wrong
kernel image into the PReP boot partition.

This is not the patched kernel. The patched kernel will show the build 
signature as something like "(build@Zimbo, xxx Jan 24 xx:xx:xx UTC 2005)".

Try to install the patched kernel image to the disk:

Boot your machine off the CD and get a shell at the first prompt. Then 
run

	# dd if=generic_com0.fs of=/dev/rsd0c 

again and run

	# fdisk -u -1 sd0

to recover the MBR (re-enter the numbers you entered previously). After this
is done, run `fdisk sd0' and disklabel sd0` to verify the MBR and the disklabel 
are fine (the same as what you saw when you installed the system).
