Tried that - the left USB port seems to be usb1, usb0 would be on the right side then, I guess. (What may help to find the right device is the "dev / ls" command of OF, which will show the "disk@1" being attached to some "usb@1b,1" (I moved the stick to the right port) sub-structure of a "pci@f200000" bus, and the "devalias" command which shows that "usb0" belongs to that.) But, even if I specify the right path, OF just hangs on the boot command. (If I choose the wrong "usbx" at least I get an error message.) Or am I just lacking some extra backslashes? Is this OF too old to do this job / to handle powerpc.elf? Got to re-read https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2012/08/msg00042.html next. Thanks so far - Steffen
