Procedure
We aborted take off due to R Eng Hi Stage EICAS message at 88 KTS. Upon informing Tower; they told us to hold short of Runway 28R. We were able to stop and exit on Runway 28L. The aircraft landing on Runway 28L was told to go around; the Runway 28R traffic landed. We were surprised that during an abort we would get a crossing runway hold short clearance. Please query SFO Tower on this.
A SFO Air Carrier departure from the Runway 1 complex aborted take off due to an EICAS message and was directed by ATC to hold short of Runway 28R. ATC decision was questioned by the reporter given the circumstances.
