[Aurora-sparc-user] f771: error: invalid option `align-double'

[Owen Mann]

I would suggest exchanging a working disk with a non-working one. If the 
working disk boots the previously non-working machine, try the bad one 
in a PC. There are no special drivers for disks - an ATA drive is an ATA 
drive.
Another idea is to see if the firmware (aka OBP aka OpenBoot) sees the 
drive; I don't have a lot of experience with that so I'll have to leave 
the details to someone else.
