It's not so odd. As I wrote in the previous mail, the Linux kernel on
the H2 cdroms does not support 3'rd and 4'th ide controllers (ide2 and
ide3).

I haven't got the output here, but here's some more details.
* GNUMac boots from Grub
* Then, when booting serverboot, it says:
Root device `/dev/hd4s1' does not exist!
Root device name? [/dev/hd4s1]
That is, it prompts me for the root device name. This happens in
the main function of serverboot (source file
hurd/serverboot/bootstrap.c line 304, CVS head two days ago).
Entering something else does not help, since then it either can't
find the device or the server boot script, and so it complains
Can't open server boot script /dev/hd4s1/boot/serverboot: <some error>
Server boot script? [/dev/hd4s1/boot/serverboot]
Hope that's enough detail for someone to help me out.
Philip Dodd's problem is related to SCSI drives, and I fear have very
little to do with my problem, since I believe the problem lies in the
ide device driver, not in the kernel or serverboot proper, but that's
a (qualified?) quess.
Yours,
