For the future, dir lists contents of the folder, so dir mac-io/ata-4@1f000/@0:10,\ dir mac-io/ata-4@1f000/@0:10,\\ should be very helpful. On Mon, Mar 01, 2004 at 09:32:48PM -0800, Rob Ballantyne wrote:

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
