I realize that OF is not a boot loader and I said I new I could use yaboot. I probably will install yaboot. I made a partition for it on my disk. I have Linux already installed on a disk and want to boot that setup through OF and install yaboot from there. That might be a weird way to do it, but that's what I wanted to try. Also I see launching a linux kernel from the OF prompt as a good fall back if I hose other booting setups somehow. (I do that occasionally.) I've looked through a number of OF docs from the Apple website, but I did not see a good explanation of how the device paths are structured. Is there a command like "probe-scsi" from the Sun OF on the Macintosh? Fred
