Hi, Some terrible seems to have happened. I tried this:
nvsetenv boot-device sd:2 it was: boot-device /AAPL,ROM earlier Now on powering up the system I get nothing on the screen, no grey screen, and it doesn't boot from floppy or Mac CD either. What do I do? Have I changed some setting in the BIOS? Is there any motherboard jumper setting to get back to original state? I have no idea about OpenFirmware (I'm running a Mac for the first time in my life). On x86 I hit del or F2, is there something like that on the Mac? Also there is no ofboot program with ybin. There is a mkofboot but the docs said it was for NewWorld Macs. Please help, waiting anxiously, Indraneel On Thu, 5 Oct 2000, Ethan Benson wrote: > yes you need to fix OF first, you do this by running > > nvsetenv boot-device <path> > > where <path> is the OpenFirmware path to the disk. the ofpath utility > included with recent ybin distributions has some support for oldworld > macs, i don't think its been tested on an 8550 however. > > i am sure all you need to do is reconfigure OpenFirmware. this is not > done automatically unfortunatly.
