Can you provide more details? What system version is on the G5?
At least on Tiger, the documented options to bless have two --
instead of a single -, are you sure the bless command is even
succeeding? Try adding --verbose to the command and inspect the
output for further clues...

The --setBoot argument (which used to be called --setOF) does not

variable on a machine that is in target disk mode.
OK thanks for the info.
Thus, I don't think your problem has any relation to the
bootx.bootinfo file, but instead is due to the open firmware
variable not being set on the PowerBook (until you set it via the
option key and clicking the icon at boot).
The thing is, the disk doesn't even appear when I boot the
PowerBook with the option key. I need to select it on the startup
disk preferences pane to make it work (so another boot volume is
needed on the PowerBook).
I use the bless command from the G5 like this:
bless -folder "%s/System/Library/CoreServices" -bootinfo "/usr/
standalone/ppc/bootx.bootinfo" -label "%@"
%s being the mount point of the PowerBook in target mode.
Thanks,
