4100 stuck at 'bootstrap code'

Hi,

I have a 4100 that won't boot. It gets stuck right after issuing the
message 'jumping to bootstrap code'.

What I had done earlier today was just follow the steps outline in sections
5.3.3 and 5.3.4 of the AdvFS Administration Manual. Basically what I'm
trying to do, after having upgraded from 4.0E to 5.1A, is upgrade the AdvFS
domains from V3 to V4. I backed up / and /usr to disk, shutdown, booted
from CD, made a new root domain, and restored the backedup root domain into
this new root domain. I saw after having had restored that the new
root_domain was almost full. Since I wanted to have more room available on
/ I deleted the new root_domain and rebooted. Now it won't go past this
'jumping to bootstrap code'.

I don't think I did anything to the original root_domain, I didn't touch
vmunix -- I don't know what I could've done to cause this to happen. The cd
is dka500, my bootdef device is dkb500.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks alot!
Andy
