- | Funny thing. That's exactly what I did... but it still didn't boot
- | (same error). I booted the Indigo using a 4.0.5F (Indigo/Reality
- | Engine only) CD, upgraded from that disc, then used the 4.0.5F
- | maintenance disc. No luck...
- |
- | Further info on the system: 32 MB RAM, 432 MB disk, Elan graphics. The
- | system had been upgraded to 4.0.5F with the Elan upgrade (a few weeks
- | back). After installing the R4K board and trying to upgrade from CD,
- | inst did not seem to try and add very much at all.

- Deja Vu; we just went over this last week. You didn't do 'set neweroverride'
- before reinstalling the software. This could have been made clearer
- in the release notes, but it is documented in the Installation Guide.
