[Wlug] Problems with a Sparc ULTRA1

[ken jones]

I just acquired by second Sparc ULTRA1 Creator.  It does not boot.
After much struggle complaining about not finding sda4, it concludes:

VSF: can not open root device "sda4" or 08:04
Please append a correct "root=" boot device
Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 08:04
Press L1-a to return to the boot prom


I've tried booting from my aurora 1.0 iso disk set.  No luck.
I've tried booting from my just out of the envelope GENTOO disk.  No luck.

Before it gives up it seems to have found the two scsi drives.
It says:  Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id0, lun
               Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id1, lun

It has found the following partitions partitions if that is what these are.
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3 p4
and
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0: p1 p3

I stopped the boot: with a "stop a".
ok test scsi >
   CE DMA fill from address ffee2000 for 80 bytes succeeded
   Dma register  test -- succeeded
   Esp register test -- succeeded
   Dma read test -- succeeded
   Dma write test -- succeeded

Any ideas?
