Hi, Does anyone know what OldWorld machines can boot from slave disks? if any, from OpenFirmware only. (i am not interested in miboot/BootX).
The reason I am asking is for ofpath, i currently attempt to guess OpenFirmware paths to slave disks as well as primary, but if they are not bootable perhaps its better to just consider slave devices unsupported. I would appreciate any comments on this, i have no OldWorld hardware so ofpath's support for finding OF paths for disk devices is completely dependent on what device-trees i can find, and people testing it for both accuracy and compatibility. Something else i am interested in is the OpenFirmware configuration required to successfully boot with quik on various models. If enough machines can be documented I would like to write a tool which will identify a particular model and configure its OpenFirmware appropriatly. it would act as a wrapper around quik.
