Maybe a resistor or > something that will make MacOS _think_ there is a monitor there? yes, don't use bootx, use quik. quik works fine on these machines. just setup a simple /etc/quik.conf with your image= line pointing at the REAL kernel in /boot (which is not a partition) and not a symlink. then run /sbin/quik and the following: nvsetenv boot-device "$(ofpath /dev/sda)0" the ending 0 is important and not a typo. it will now boot with quik. > If someone will try to help with quik on this, I'll give it a try, but the > last time I tried I had a hell of a time. see above, its not bad anymore, since 2.2.17 the kernel has been fixed. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
