That would make the file path > scsi/sd@3:3:/vmlinuz? no, you don't specify a file to the boot-device variable, OF does not know how to read filesystems. it will simply load a bootblock off the bootable partition (if you specify partition 0) the bootblock is quik's first stage loader which loads the second stage loader from your root filesystem, that in turn knows how to read ext2, it reads the /etc/quik.conf and loads your kernel. you need scsi/sd@3:0 or scsi/sd@3:3, either should work. > Now I think that I screwed it.

Isn't there a way of restoring > OpenFirmware to default settings? yes, Cmd+Opt+p+r from a cold boot will reset it. the problem is there is no OF video driver in the 7200 so OF sends everything right out the serial port. it could be the path is wrong, or you forgot to run quik, or your quik.conf is wrong. if you have a second machine around or a dumb terminal you can access the OF console and see exactly what went wrong. check your /etc/quik.conf (after chroot /target) it should be something like this: partition=3 image=/boot/vmlinux-2.2.18pre21 ## or whatever, don't use a symlink label=Linux root=/dev/sda3 read-only then run /sbin/quik, set the boot-device variable, light candles, chant and reboot. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
