The solution was in the manpage of nvsetenv. This is what I did for my 7300: boot-device scsi-int/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0 boot-file /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 Note that quik cannot handle symlinks, so do a 'cp /vmlinux /vmlinuz', check /etc/quik.conf and run quik. When you are going to run entirely without macos, make sure your bootdisk works.
