This is what I get:

```

...and this when trying to load sash:

```

Invalid argument
i.e., dksc(X,Y,8)loader dksc(X,Y,0)/kern

                             Starting the system...

               To perform system maintenance instead, press <Esc>
```

The machine is been reset after the printout about the invalid argument.

BTW, if I use `bootp()irisboot dksc(0,1,8)loader` - i.e. a non existing 
file, as there's only `sgilabel`, `ide`, `sash` and `symmon` in the 
volume header - the same printout and reset happens.

I'll try to do more testing as soon as I find out how to use the 
non-original disk.

Cheers,
