So, couple more questions: what did deleting the firmware_status.chrp file do for me?
It declared your firmware level as tested, see /lib/lilo/lilo-chrp.lib There are a few bugs in the firmware FAT filesystem driver. Some of them are already fixed. If your box boots ok, then everything is fine.
Why doesn't OSS 10 do as good a job at this as 9 ES does? And finally, is it safe to tell SMS to boot to that first partition on drive?
It did not receive the required amount of testing that SLES9 received. Also not all fixes for SLES9 were applied in time. If the SMS offers you the boot partition, it should work ok. -- short story of a lazy sysadmin: alias appserv=wotan
