Booting a 2nd rev 12" powerbook (1Ghz)

[peter at larkowski.net]

Ok, here's an odd one.  I tried boot -v and it worked (ie. got to the
mountroot prompt), so tried it again, and it worked without -v.  I
tried it several more times with and without -v and it's a crap shoot.
It works sometimes, and not others.  When it does work, the only things
that appear after the dvd drive probe and before the mountroot prompt are:

(probe0:sbp0:0:0:0): error 22
(probe0:sbp0:0:0:0): Unretryable Error
(probe1:sbp0:0:1:0): error 22
(probe1:sbp0:0:1:0): Unretryable Error
(probe2:sbp0:0:2:0): error 22
(probe2:sbp0:0:2:0): Unretryable Error
(probe3:sbp0:0:3:0): error 22
(probe3:sbp0:0:3:0): Unretryable Error
(probe4:sbp0:0:4:0): error 22
(probe4:sbp0:0:4:0): Unretryable Error
(probe5:sbp0:0:5:0): error 22
(probe5:sbp0:0:5:0): Unretryable Error
(probe6:sbp0:0:6:0): error 22
(probe6:sbp0:0:6:0): Unretryable Error

Also, at this point, the light on the power cord changes from green
(charged in OSX) to amber (charging).  I don't know if there is any
significance there, but I thought I'd be thorough.  When it doesn't work,
the light stays green, and I get none of the probe messages.

Finally, init doesn't seem to fly.  I just get start_init:
trying/sbin/init

I think it is actually mounting nfs because I had some problems with that
earlier (typo in /etc/exports) and that lands me at the debugger, whereas
it's hanging now.  I hope some of this info helps.  Let me know if there
is anything else useful I can do.
