This get me to the Open Firmware prompt - thank you. In Open Firmware, I am trying to boot off the install CD. Strangely, boot cd:,ofwboot /5.1/macppc/bsd.rd doesn't work: MAC-PARTS: bad partition can't OPEN cd:,ofwboot Can't open device or file ok but boot hd:,ofwboot /5.1/macppc/bsd.rd does boot the CD (note the diference - "cd" vs "hd"). I understand that "hd" and "cd" are just devaliases; in my case, hd /pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@0 cd /pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@1 Does that mean that those device aliases are somehow mixed up? Anyway, once started, the installation goes through smoothly. Unlike ofw, the install script recognizes 'cd' as the CD correctly (when choosing where to install the sets from). I chose MBR instead of HFS, as I do not intend to dual boot MacOSX. Now, my last problem is that I cannot boot the installed /bsd. I understand that OFW needs to be configured to boot it, but I run into the same problem as during the installation: the expected boot hd:,ofwboot /bsd apparently tries to boot from the CD - it starts spinning, and fails with open /pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@0/bsd: No such file or directory I have tried boot ide0:,ofwboot /bsd boot ide1:,ofwboot /bsd boot ultra0:,ofwboot /bsd boot ultra1:,ofwboot /bsd - all of them fail with Can't open device or file. The only thing that I can get to boot is boot hd:,ofwboot /5.1/macppc/bsd i.e., the kernel from the install CD. Once booted, the system is there as I installed it and runs fine. Obviously, I would like to boot the /bsd I installed on disk. Isuppose this is an Open Firmware problem rather then an OpenBSD problem. Namely, Idon't know how to address the harddisk I installed on from within open firmware. Can someone enlighten me please?
