According to my beige G3's device-tree at work, there is no such thing
as ata/ata-disk. You need to change your boot-device setting.

Try:

- canonical names:

/pci/mac-io/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:<partition>     (master on 
first bus)
/pci/mac-io/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:<partition>     (slave on first 
bus)
/pci/mac-io/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:<partition>     (master on 
second bus)
/pci/mac-io/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:<partition>     (slave on 
second bus)

Not sure that the second IDE bus is available on a connector; I can't
open the box right now.

You can also try the aliases, each with the disk part appended:

/ata-int/       ->  /pci/mac-io/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
/ide/           ->  /pci/mac-io/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
/ide0/          ->  /pci/mac-io/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
(all on the first IDE bus)

/ide1/          ->  /pci/mac-io/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
(second IDE bus)

There is no alias 'ata' nor 'ata-disk' (on my machine, at least).

Except I'm booting from SCSI, quik works perfectly well on my beige
G3.

Cheers

Michel
