On my OF 1.0.5 machine with scsi and quik, I can just specify a boot-device in boot vars and leave the boot file alone (blank} - boot-device scsi-int/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0. Quik should take care of the rest, assuming that you have ever gotten it to boot and let it write the boot blocks. ATA may behave differently though.... Tom
