There is an utility called ofpath which tells you that. It is in /usr/sbin, so you may have to indicate the full path. Here is the output on my mac: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/ofpath /dev/hda /[EMAIL PROTECTED],f2000000/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/ofpath /dev/sda /[EMAIL PROTECTED],f2000000/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/ofpath /dev/sda2 /[EMAIL PROTECTED],f2000000/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2 Also, if you enter in openfirmware, you can get the information too, by typing: dev / ls http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1061.html#RTFToC4 Maybe you can try to put the openfirmware path of your osX partition instead of /dev/sdb3? -- Charles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
