I do trust you! at the firmware prompt I typed: boot hd:,\\yaboot got back: cant OPEN: hd:,\\yaboot Why cant it open yaboot? is there an open firmware command that shows all the file systems? The contents of the Mac HD folder ( the root folder? ) on this system is: System folder Applications yaboot yaboot.conf linux.bin root.bin thanks, -Steve
