In reply to Comment 85 (Hans-Joerg Frieden):
I tried any number of combinations. Some gave me nothing, others gave me that error. I guess that error comes from when I tried boota, yes. diskboot 500000 2:0 didn't work any better (when I had the image on a partition, diskboot 500000 0:6 worked, though. So it's fine. I'm past that particular obstacle :-) )
