I am about ready to take a chainsaw to this damn thing. I have tried all
kinds of different quik.conf settings, I ended up coping one straight from
some other guy that I googled,

timeout=10
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinux
   label=linux
   root=/dev/hda9
   partition=9

so that's my /etc/quik.conf
I run quik, I reboot, I set my real-base to F00000, boot-device to
ide0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:9 bootfile to /vmlinux root=/dev/hda9 reset-all, when it 
comes
back to OF, I type boot, I get the boot: prompt, I type linux, and I get
"Read error on block 63747" twice, then cannot load image or find image or
somesuch.
I've tried every single variation of boot-device and boot-file that I can
think of. do I have to do some kind of filesystem check in linux (I use
BootX for now)? This is the worst god damn experiance I have ever had with a
computer, I finally search thru hundreds of pages because the manual for
quik is totally non-existant and the man page is useless, why the hell is
there no clear cut page that explains how to use this fakin program? so damn
frustrating. Help save a life, tell me what to do!
