Reinstalling ANS from Zulu/BlueSCSI

[defor]

I'm trying to figure out how to reinstall my new (problematic-a topic for another thread) ANS500....
It boots fine off the drive that came with it, but it definitely needs a reload.

I've setup the structure of my SD card as:

Set the keyswitch for service...
I've tried IDs 1, and 2 (2 was the ID of the old drive) for the drive with the same result.
Term DIP switch on and off, same result.
Any suggestions/idea what this means?

I've never booted aix before.

The load word from the aix-boot package (used when booting :aix) is supposed to set a aix-block0 property in the /chosen node of the Open Firmware device-tree. Maybe this is not happening correctly.

The boot device path scsi-int/sd@0:aix specifies SCSI ID 0 from the /bandit/53c825@11 SCSI controller. You said the SCSI id is 1 or 2. Try 0?

Have you check the iso checksum?
Just to be sure there was no corruption

I haven't actually tried 4.1.5, but I have an original 4.1.4.1 CD that does work. Although I installed it from the built-in CD-ROM drive, not from a ZuluSCSI. I could try imaging it, but I've had some trouble making CD ISOs that the ZuluSCSI is happy with. I think there's something about needing to dd a specific session instead of the whole CD block device.
