OF boot commands for firewire

Hi Andreas,

  I haven't with the mini, but I boot the powerbook from it all the time.

  Almost :)

  For partition 3, what you want to do is:

  boot hd:7,\boot\loader fw/node/sbp-2/disk at 0:3

  If the fstab file is set up on the firewire drive, the kernel will 
just go straight into mounting root without prompting.

later,

Peter.
