I now have it running, but two different VGA cards don't work. The
monitor stays in power save mode. The cards are a Trident 512k VGA
card and an S3 Virge (2MB?) PCI VGA card. I bought a cheap RealTek PCI
network card for speed reasons. The Soundblaster driver loads and
finds the card, but I haven't tested it yet (ESS688 based card)

I found it. It is set in the kenrel config at the end of the General
settings page. The default is 'console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0
root=/dev/sda2'.
BTW Is it possible to boot from an IDE disk under PPCBUG? The old SCSI
drive I was experimenting with is getting way too many bad sectors to
be useful so I installed onto an IDE drive. When I try to boot from
that I get the following:
PPC1-Bug>pboot 2 0
Booting from: PC87303IDE, Controller 2, Drive 0
Device Name : /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci8086,[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Loading: Operating System
Boot Logic Error
Packet Status: 0800
The partitions are:
hda1 PReP boot 25MB (This used to be /boot on an x86 installation)
hda2 Swap 100MB
hda3 Root 2GB
hda4 MP3 storage 17GB
hdb1 MP3 storage 27GB
