Hi Alex,

When you see an error like "*W" you must take the ASCII value of W and
add 128 to get the error number, so 87 + 128 = 215. On a working
system you can run "error 215" to see what it means.

215 in hexadecimal is $D7, and
https://nitros9.sourceforge.io/wiki/index.php/System_Error_Codes says
this is "BAD PATHNAME".

The references here are useful:

In your case, it seems it reaches "o" - opening the console. Maybe the
terminal name specified in your init module is not correct? Or is not
found in the boot file, although I would have expected "PATH NAME NOT
FOUND" in that case, not sure.

Maybe you can tell us what you have changed since last successful
boot, how you have regenerated the boot file etc.
