YAY! I've got it partially IPLing off of the

55L. It seems to halt with a message of '552' - IPL Varyon falied. Does
anyone know enough IBM-speak to tell me what that means?
Aparently, the problem it was having earlier with powering off
automagically was caused by the power supply thinking a fan was broken -
once I fixed that problem, it magically started doing stuff again.
I'm about to try booting in service mode with a set of diagnostic disks
and see if I can figure anything else out.
OK, after booting off the first 'diagnostics disk', the system looks like
its booting - it clears for a second and then displays a few numbers, and
halts with 'c05' -- "A diskette error occurred" on the screen.
I've
verified that the image is properly getting written to the floppy, and
have tried different floppies.
Any ideas?
