DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00400
I wonder where I can find a copy of the processor manuals...
Maybe they'll be able to tell me why I can't get a 2.4.x kernel to boot on
my 601-based 7200 :) (I get a "DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00700" until I cold
boot it)

Well, lessee... I execute as root:
quik -f -i /boot/first.b.mlan
nvsetenv boot-command "begin ['] boot catch 1000 ms cr again"
nvsetenv boot-command "/bandit/gc/mesh/sd@4:0"
reboot
I get the same "DEFAULT CATCH" error as before, but with a different value
for "code=": FFF00700.
In case I'm doing something wrong with quik, here's quik.conf:
device=/bandit/gc/mesh/sd@4
partition=3
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/sdb3
read-only

Of course :) I'm keeping MacOS w/ BootX 1.2.2 around until I can:
1) Find a way to activate the G3 backside cache on my NewerTech card
without the NewerTech MacOS extensions
2) get quik working
But hey the 2.4.3 from the "devel" tree works great :)
