Hello,


I am getting an error ("Aborting: can't find boot file!") when I try to

boot Barrelfish on my baremetal server. Attached is the image with

the error.


I checked the Barrelfish mailing list for such previous errors, and found

that the path to skb_ramfs.cpio.gz was the problem. However, the path

to that file is correct in my setup.


Below is my menu.lst file:
