As far as I know, the 'boot-device' setting doesn't care about the partition number, it just wants your device, i.e. "/pci/mac-io/ata0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0" , if that's what you get from OF (maybe try "@0:0" also ?) On the other hand, the 'boot-file' setting requires the root partition and the path to the kernel, but you can usually just put the label you defined in quik.conf (e.g. 'Linux'). If that doesn't work, you should try filling in the full path : e.g. "/pci/mac-io/ata0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2/boot/vmlinux" (or maybe "/pci/mac-io/ata0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2/boot/vmlinux") > I've tried manually > exploring the device tree, and it seems like that > device path just does not exist there to OF (ver. > 2.0.1, btw).
