Try things like: ata/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:9 For more information you might want to work through apple's technotes: <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1061.html> <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1062.html> <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1044.html> briefly, some commands for working in OF: [ dev / ls ] - list the device tree (no []) [ devalias ] - list device aliases From: <http://lppcfom.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/221.html> 3) Internal IDE hard-drive bootup Tanzania motherboard machines (StarMax, 4400, PowerTools, APS): boot-device ata/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0 boot-file /vmlinux root=/dev/hdaX (X is partition no. of root) Others (6400, powerbase): boot-device ata/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0 boot-file /vmlinux root=/dev/hdaX Note that if linux isn't the first bootable partition on your drive, you'll have to specify the partition number in boot-file: boot-file ata/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:X/vmlinux root=/dev/hdaX (X is partition no. of root) You need to set up your boot-blocks with quik (linux only - MacOS version doesn't recognize IDE). Boot-up off a floppy, and use quik to set up your boot blocks (quik -vf). hth, Elizabeth
