At Open boot prompt (Stop + A) in halt state, do a "probe-scsi-all" to check device path for your external disk, then verivy with "devalias" if you have a alias correcty setup for external disk, if not change one or create a new one with "nvalias", then boot from new alias, i.e: if you create a new alias "disk9", just boot disk9 , or change the variable "boot-device" to the external disk to boot from there by default.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Carlos Almeida.

"Cannot find /packages"
