Hi Warner,

I've tried those things, unfortunately none of them worked. With forth, 
things are slightly different (no more lua error), but ultimately the 
same result: - the kernel doesn't load ("can't load 'kernel'").

I lastly tried "ln -sf /boot/loader_4th /boot/loader", now I get "No 
/boot/loader" and a boot: prompt. I can do "boot/loader_4th" which will 
use the forth loader with the results the same as the above.

Any help is appreciated - this is a very important box unfortunately. :(

Thanks,

-Brett
