There was a bug in ofpath at one point which resulted in it returning garbage (invisible) characters on some machines. Try setting the path in OpenFirmware with setenv boot-device manually, also try with :0 as well as :9 , and if those don't work try devalias to see if you can substitute an alias for part of the path. -- *------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".
