Also I am not able to boot from ROM.  Steps taken:

When booting from ROM

boot
set_params single
bfd

I shows from the LCD that it is loading kernel then, it just goes through regular boot sequence loading the OS.  I wanted to boot from ROM and then type:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdd

I still do not know why it is hdd and not hdc since it is set to secondary master.  Also is there a linux kernel when booting into ROM that may have gotten corrupt, which is why I cannot drop down to a root shell booting into ROM?

Thanks,
Elmer
