Hello Peter,
new subject. You mentioned that your build was done on an external fw
disc on a macmini. Do you also boot from it ?
My question goes in this direction, what are the OF boot commands to
point to the root drive being on a fw drive ?
I have placed the loader on a hfs drive.
Now I enter OF and I type 'boot hd:7,\boot\loader fw:3| fw:3, ....
(I do not know if fw:3 is really right, or if we need additional
arguments. There is only one drive attached to the bus and it has 3
partitions, map, swap, root)
It does find the loader but not the kernel to boot.
So, a 'dir fw:3,\' does not show anything. Do we need some additional
steps ? Should it be possible or no luck at all?
Any pointers, ideas ?
Thanks,
Andreas
