Hi there - I don't think I know the answer , but I've managed to figure 
things out in the past by issuing 'lsdev' (no quotes) from that point 
and see what it says/ what devices it can see.

Then you can usually change where it tries to find the kernel (passing 
the right path from the hardware/BIOs point of view).

(and again, maybe not ;) )

hope it helps.
