	Hi,

	This is a known problem; these instructions were sent to the
list earlier this week; they should work for you:

To recover your machine at 8.4, I believe this will work:

	* stop the boot at the prom (using stop+A)
	* setenv boot-device disk
	* boot

With any luck, this problem should be fixed by late next Wednesday and
you can update to 9.0 then; I will also try to remember to let you
know when we have fixed it.

Garry
