Problems booting installed Debian.

[stig atle steffensen]

I had this working before with debian.
However I installed openbsd and other os'es, now when I try to boot debian
(after installing) it shows this error in pmon (including the typo's):

'File is not set or not exist!

path is not complete, haven't selected the device or file!

The boot.cfg not existed! system will try default entry from ai.'

then it stops like that.
I've tried to revert as many settings as I can in the pmon, but I'm now all lost about what's going on.

During install grub fails, but I guess that's not the issue?

under 'boot' in PMON (I use the command 'main' to get to the sweet GUI'),
it now says:
Set disk: wd0

Set kernel path : /boot/boot

Set file type: ext2

set karg : dev/hda1 no_auto_cmd

Any clues as to what the heck I can do to make it boot?
(With openbsd it works just fine..)

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Here is what is set up in the Boot section:
Set disk: wd0

Set kernel path : /vmlinux

Set file type: ext2

set karg : console=tty root=/dev/sda5

Hoping it helps,
regards
samy

you can check that the kernel do exist in given path.

1, check the disk is exist and correctly named
   devls should print a line contain 'wd0'
2, try to access the director tree to find out where boot.cg or kernel file is
  ls (wd0,n)/      where n=partion numbers, start from 0
  ls (wd0,n)/<dir>
3, manually load the kernel that you are sure existing in given path
   load (wd0,0)/boot/boot/vmlinuz

     Ordinarily,  the pmon would try to find the boot.cfg on the first parition of the disk or the boot directory under the
first parition by turn.you could lanuch an initrd to make sure whether there's  a file named boot.cfg mentioned above.

Thanks for all the suggestions. 
I'm unable to find any of the files in my partitions.

So now I downloaded the files from the link below and are currently doing a re-install.
This is to make sure I have the latest version..

I'll write again as soon as I've tested installing it again.

thanks again!

It all works just fine now!
No errors with grub during install, it boots and works perfectly.

Thanks to all of you who replied to help.

have a nice day!
