.
the option for startup from a SCSI device.
If startup from the SCSI device fails, enable only the path to the LU on
which the OS is installed, and then start the OS.
3 Check the definitions in the /etc/lilo.conf file, /etc/grub.conf file, /
.
etc/elilo.conf file, or /boot/grub/menu.lst file to make sure that the

the initial RAM disk image file.
