well this could mean several things: 1) your boot-device is wrong in which case OpenFirmware just barfs, but given the (likely) lack of a video driver for OF you don't see any errors. if you have a beige G3 you might be able to set the output device to your video card and interface with OF from the console. otherwise you will need to setup a serial terminal to access OF. 2) your boot device is correct but quik is misconfigured or broken you would need to access OF and see what quik is doing/saying to determine the best course of action. 3) your kernel is broken and non-quik bootable, a friend of mine with a 7200 cannot boot 2.2.15 with quik (cannot try bootx) [i am not sure if this is anything to do with quik or not] if you just want to get back to macos hold down the command option p r keys while cold booting the mac and keep holding them down until it reboots itself at least twice. this will reset the OF variables back to defaults (/AAPL,ROM) which will boot macos. to fix quik you will likely have to reconfigure OF to display on the console, or setup a serial terminal so you can see what is going on. i will leave that to people with oldworld hardware (who will know how to do this better then i) -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
