Hi Phil, On 11 Mar, this message from Phil Brutsche echoed through cyberspace: > A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... > >> On the other hand, what kind of machine is this?

Aha, that gets us closer to the problem, I guess...

Hmm.. what was the exact message again? the code= part tells you what
the crash was about; the last 4 digits are the type of exception, which
can be looked up in the PPC manuals.
Also, I'm attaching a different quik first stage; The default coming
with some quik release wouldn't boot on my G3 processor. Had something
to do with the way BAT's are set up; I have no idea whether the 'fixed'
version ever made into an official quik release. Copy this somewhere,
and rerun quik:
quik -f -i <my first.b>
Save your old first.b (don't overwrite the one in /boot !!), in cae
anything goes wrong. Also, make sure you have some other way (i.e.BootX)
to get your machine up before fiddling with quik! But I suppose you
havem since quik doesn't work ;-)
