After a week of tries im here to ask help again cause i cannot a way to
came out.

I boot with the command:

boot dva0 -fi vmlinux.gz -fl "root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1
prompt_ramdisk=1"

And receive as result of the operation:
-----------
(boot dva0.0.0.0.1 -file vmlinux.gz -flags root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1
prompt_ramdisk=1)
block 0 of dva0.0.0.0.1 is a valid boot block
reading 168 blocks from dva0.0.0.0.1
bootstrap code read in

Any hint is appreciated.

boot_file=1/boot/vmlinux.gz
bootdef_dev = dka0
boot_osflags= "root=/dev/sda1"

Worked for me. And no typing at the SRM console - it would boot all the way
into linux. BTW, check the name of your kernel, and forget the Ramdisk -
that seems to be some of your problem.
