(MacOS trashes the device tree too much). and if you already booted via OF you probably already know the device path anyway.. > What doesn't look so good is that it gives a path for /dev/sdb (but > there's no such device). the scsi detection stuff is a huge kludge. can you send me the contents of /proc/scsi/scsi and /proc/partitions ? what disks do you really have? for a 7200 i assume the internal scsi hard disk and a scsi CDROM, so you should have at least /dev/sda and /dev/sdb no? > Also, I don't know what the expected answer is re. partitions; it sems > to give a valid partition number, though I don't know whether using that > would work in OF 1.0.5.... the partition number is whatever you asked it to find, so if you ask for the device to /dev/sda1 it will return partition 1, sda2 -> partition 2 etc. as far as whats supported in OF i think thats a documentation issue -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
