The code responsible for matching the boot device to the actual kernel device on macppc is quite crude, especially for non-SCSI disks. Your bootpath specifies `disk@1' because the disk drive is the second device (slave) on the ATA channel, the cdrom drive being master. However, the kernel wants to match this information against a `wd1' device (as if there were two hard disks on the ATA channel). The kernel code needs to be fixed to use device_register() to match the boot path against actual attachment information, instead of walking the device tree at the end of autoconf. If nobody beats me to do this, I'll try to cook a diff in a few days. Miod
