You must have auto-boot? set to false. You can list the settings in OF with printenv and change them with setenv. > > Is there any way to set the default partition in the OF? > setenv boot-device <OF-path> Since you're in OF now, try dev / ls to see your device tree. devalias might also help to identify your ide/ata disk. Then you can set boot-device to your device name, followed by :0 or :8 (for partition 8) similar to what I posted in reply to your last mail. The only difference is in OF you use setenv instead of nvsetenv in Linux. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
