(the kernel is at sda2 in usual potato location with symlink) this is what ofpath gives when I run ofpath /dev/sda2: /bandit/gc/mesh/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2 I did: nvsetenv boot-device /bandit/gc/mesh/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2 (I also tried with these: /bandit/gc/mesh/[EMAIL PROTECTED] /bandit/gc/mesh/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2\\vmlinux ) nvsetenv showed that the entries were updated. On rebooting it again stopped at blank screen. I noticed however that the starting music played twice (previously it was playing only once) Do I need to run quik again after all this? I tried with and without running quik, it didn't work. Also I am running ofpath directly after booting from floppy. But I am running nvsetenv after doing chroot /target > hold down > > command option p r > > while COLD booting the machine Thanks a huge lot (wiping my forehead).

All the bandit stuff or scsi? Will I have to put the kernel image location?
