Howdy! Just as a sanity check, have you already done the "Autobooting OpenBSD/macppc" step in the INSTALL.macppc instructions? It sounds like OpenFirmware isn't finding something to boot, as if it's still looking for OS X. I'd boot into OpenFirmware and (per that step) run both "setenv auto-boot? true" and "setenv boot-device hd:,ofwboot" in the resulting Forth prompt. If that doesn't fix it, then further information on the exact Powerbook model would probably be useful. Thanks, -- Ryan
