it IS displaying a boot: prompt like lilo does, that is what the
timeout=20 line in my quik.conf i sent to the list does.
however, you cannot see it because OF is configured to display
everything on the serial port where your non-existent serial terminal
is attached. as i mentioned before you can attempt to change the
output and input devices from the serial port to screen and keyboard
but it very likely won't work since many oldworld machines do not have
an OpenFirmware driver for the video hardware.
so if a serial terminal is not an option and your OF is not capable of
displaying to your screen then your only option is to add an append
line to your quik.conf:
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.2.17
label=linux
root=/dev/sda2
read-only
append="foobar"
rerun /sbin/quik, and reboot.
