[Sunhelp] Redhat 5.2 on IPX implementation

[Ted Timmons]

Well, I decided to install RH5.2 on my IPX box. It starts loading off of my
Toshiba 4x (external) CDROM, see the following. Why am I getting a kernel
panic?

Start booting with "boot cdrom", SILO loads fine, hit <enter>, kernel starts
loading. 50+ lines go past (including the CDROM and SCSI diisk recognition),
here are the last few:
Partition check:
 sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8
esp0: Disabling sync for buggy Toshiba CDROM
esp0: Disabling DISCONNECT for target 6 lun 0
