I can boot my Apple 9500-120 from Open Firmware (v1.05), but i have to use a terminal to do it. When I change the input and output devices, it doesn't use them for OF, it still talks only to the serial terminal. I use the OF boot command boot scsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0 and that's all I need to do for it to boot. The kernel is actually on partition 7, but putting anything other than :0 results in a DEFAULT CATCH!. My quik.conf contains root=/dev/sdb7 partition=7 image=/boot/vmlinux-2.2.19 I did confirm that using boot: /vmlinux from the Quik second-stage loader results in an unknown image format error, while using boot: /boot/vmlinux-2.2.19 works. With the quik.conf above, if I just press return at the boot: prompt, it works too. Here's the device tree for my 9500: 0 > dev / ls FF828F80: /PowerPC,[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF829230: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF8299F0: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF829B20: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF829C68: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF829D28: /AAPL,[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF829F40: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF82A618: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF82A858: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF82A8E0: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF82B0E0: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF82B620: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF82DA60: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF82E258: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF82E9B8: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF82EE30: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF830400: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF830D48: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF831708: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF8317A0: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF832990: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF832DC8: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF834650: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF835280: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF835EF8: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF836D70: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF836EC8: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF837578: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF837C28: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF837D10: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF838E18: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF8399A8: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF839A98: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF83A1E8: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF83A298: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF83A348: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF83A810: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF83A930: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF83C498: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF83D0C8: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 FF83DDD0: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF83FB70: /pci106b,[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF83FD48: /ATY,[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF83DF68: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF848330: /pci106b,[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF848508: /FWB,[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF84B538: /FWB,[EMAIL PROTECTED] FF83F1C0: /[EMAIL PROTECTED] ok For the PowerBase 180 (OF v2.0), I can boot off the same drive as the 9500. I have another scsi disk connected to the PowerBase, though, but that works out because it has an IDE internal; so the Linux device alias is still sdb. The input-device and output-device settings work, unlike the 9500, and I have them set to kbd and /bandit/ATY,mach64_3D_pcc. In order to boot from OF, I type boot scsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:7 Then in the Quik second-stage loader, /boot/vmlinux-2.2.19.
