Does `ls /` show anything at all. or anything familiar? Maybe we're 
using the wrong device for some reason.  If the answer to the first is 
either "Not familiar" or "wrong disk", you can check `show currdev` for 
which we device we chose and go through the list in `lsdev` with, e.g., 
"ls <devname>:/boot/lua" to try and find what it should have been if 
you're not sure from lsdev output alone.
