(the kernel is at sda2 in usual potato location with symlink)
this is what ofpath gives when I run ofpath /dev/sda2:
/bandit/gc/mesh/sd@0:2
I did:
nvsetenv boot-device /bandit/gc/mesh/sd@0:2
(I also tried with these:
/bandit/gc/mesh/sd@0
/bandit/gc/mesh/sd@0:2\\vmlinux )
nvsetenv showed that the entries were updated. On rebooting it again
stopped at blank screen. I noticed however that the starting music played
twice (previously it was playing only once)
Do I need to run quik again after all this? I tried with and without
running quik, it didn't work. Also I am running ofpath directly after
booting from floppy. But I am running nvsetenv after doing chroot /target

Thanks a huge lot (wiping my forehead). It worked, that's how I could do
the above !

What do I have to put in the nvsetenv line? All the bandit stuff or scsi?
Will I have to put the kernel image location?
Thanks for your continued help (blood flows back into veins)
