There is an ata0 alias.
setenv boot-device ata0:10
and
setenv boot-file /vmlinux root=/dev/hda10
and then
boot
gives me
0 > boot DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFFFFFF6 at %SRR0: FF80B15C %SRR1: 0000B070

works better as /target/sbin/quik -r /target -v
(otherwise quik complains about the missing /proc/cpuinfo)
I get an error about the 800k bootpartition, so I delete that and reinstall..
(and now the floppydrive starts acting up again..)
Somewhat later stuff is rerereinstalled, the boot should happen from
partition 8 and the default catch comes back..
Back to the installer/drawing board. Networks are a lot more reliable to
read from then floppies!
I get:
# /target/sbin/quik -r /target -v
Second-stage loader is on /dev/hda8
Config file is on partition 8
Writing first-stage QUIK boot block to /dev/hda8
Making /dev/hda8 bootable (map entry 8)

Well.. I keep running into either "Can't open" or "DEFAULT CATCH".
I guess there is some 'simple' setting for boot-device which I am
completely missing.
