Hi, If you don't find bootX, that's probably because you are working on a New World Mac, which uses yaboot for the boot configuration, instead of BootX, To go short, edit /etc/yaboot.conf (or is it in /boot ?; I don't have a mac at all now, so I can't check). There should be a section for the kernel you use to boot. Add the arguments needed to the append line (arguments are space separated, I believe). After saving the changes, remember to run ybin as root, for the changes to take effect upon the next boot. Good luck.
