Hi All,
Thanks to everyone who provided some advice. I just
wanted to report back with what seemed to work in the end.
It was a combination of all the different advice I got.
Recall the partition map:
...
10: BootX (HFS+)
11: / (root) (UFS)
The working set of OF variables is:
boot-device = mac-io/ata-4@1f000/@0:10,\\:tbxi
boot-file = mac-io/ata-4@1f000/@0:11,\\mach_kernel.new
The odd thing was that boot-file had to be the explicit
device path and none of the device aliases that name the
same device node.
My guess is due to the fact that OF loads BootX from
partition 10 and BootX then looks at boot-file to find
the kernel. I'm not quite sure why it can't handle
a devalias.
Thanks again!
Rob
