Reading nvsetenv(8) it should be something like:
# nvsetenv boot-device "scsi-int/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0"
# nvsetenv boot-file " /vmlinux root=/dev/sda2"
No luck. When rebooting the screen just stays blank and I'll have to
reset using control-apple-r-p
I've been wondering if it has some thing to do with my disklayout?:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mac-fdisk -l /dev/sda
/dev/sda
# type name length base ( size )
system
/dev/sda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k)
Partition map
/dev/sda2 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root 160000 @ 64 ( 78.1M)
Linux native
/dev/sda3 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 100000 @ 160064 ( 48.8M)
Linux swap
/dev/sda4 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 usr 797694 @ 260064 (389.5M)
Linux native
Which partition am I suppose to use in "scsi-in/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:x"?
Linux disk is at scsi id 0:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dmesg |grep sd
Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Detected scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0
Has anybody here been able to boot directly into linux on a Mac PowerPC
7200?
Thank you!
