The monitor is "orange"

[PeHaSys@SoftHome.Net]

Hi,

I am the "buddy", who is helping Dean.

First of all, I need to say that some of the instructions are ... incorrect.
The manual
(http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch-init-config.en.html)
mentions

nvsetenv `ofpath /dev/sda2`

but that doesn't work:
1) there is no path to nvsetenv
2) ofpath is not found-able (find /|grep ofpath)
3) missing "boot-device" in the command
4) missing /dev/nvram

So, I symlinked /dev/nvram to /target/dev/nvram (ln -s /target/dev/nvram
/dev/nvram), on my Pentium machine copied ofpath from downloaded yaboot
package to vfat (mcopy) floppy, modprobe-d vfat on the Mac, mount-ed
/dev/fd0 /floppy and issued:

/target/sbin/nvsetenv boot-device `/floppy/ofpath /dev/sda3`

after "Make Linux Bootable Directly From Hard Disk" (our root partition is
on /dev/sda3).

After reboot, the computer stays "dead" - monitor's LED goes green for few
seconds and then back to orange. Combinations like Alt-Cmd-P-R or
Alt-Cmd-O-F don't do anything.

Could you, please, help? What did I do wrong? Is there any way to "reset"
CMOS (NVRAM or what is it called on Macs)?

Is there a way to boot from rescue.bin with parameters? I am unable to to
that as well (you know, from lilo prompt "linux root=/dev/sda3" that we can
do on i386).

Any suggestions are welcome, especially since the computer seems to be
unusable ATM.
