Error 20: Multiboot kernel must be loaded before modules

[Glen Gunselman]

Hello Community,

I realize this is a long shot but I am assuming that I have made a very basic mistake and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

I am getting the following error when trying to boot a Sun X4500 to install patch 141467-01:

_______________________________________________________________
kernel /boot/multiboot-141467-01 kernel/unix -s -B console=ttya
module /boot/x86.miniroot-141467-01

Error 20: Multiboot kernel must be loaded before modules
Booting '141467-01 Disk f/w image'

kernel /boot/multiboot-141467-01 kernel/unix -s -B console=ttya
module /boot/x86.miniroot-141467-01

Error 20: Multiboot kernel must be loaded before modules

Press any key to continue...

Here is the menu.lst entry

#----------------- 141467-01 DISK f/w

title 141467-01 Disk f/w image

module /boot/x86.miniroot-141467-01
#--------------- END 141467-01 DISK f/w

The kernel path/file is spelled correctly.

ls -l /boot/multiboot-141467-01
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      135712 Nov  2 10:26 /boot/multiboot-141467-01

I tried typing it in at the  grup> prompt  as well but get the same error.

Thanks,
