> Do you know if it is possible with the open firmware (ver. 2.0f1) of > Oldworld PowerMac G3 ? Try autoboot, from the powerpc-utils package. If your G3 has a CUDA ADB chipset, autoboot should work. For PMU based Macs (and I think this is only Newworld ones), the autoboot flag can be set in /proc/pmu/options from the shell. Michael
