http://www.ptree32.com.au/loader.120503 - accepts a single command-line parameter that can be used to set currdev e.g. 0 > boot enet:,loader hd:13 or more usefully 0 > boot hd:,loader hd:12 - fixed bug where a file offset > 4G was being truncated - a colon wasn't being accepted as an indication of an OpenFirmware device. The symptom was that /etc/fstab wasn't being read in, resulting in the mountroot> prompt always popping up. This also allows device aliases to be used for disk specifiers at the loader prompt e.g. OK ls hd:12/boot later, Peter.
