WHOAAAA!! hold your horses =3D) command + option + O + F =3D the command sequence for OpenFirmware sounds like you have a second harddrive and need to find the =20 openfirmware alias for this device... devalias in OF should help you =20 in determining what your second HD is on the machine OF interacts with HFS volumes so thats the catch in all of this =20 ish...namely we cannot tell OF to look into our UFS for =20 freebsd....also your volumes are titled HFS which is apples =20 concoction of a few FS's FFS and UFS etc...are those the right =20 volumes?? something seems funky..... once you copy this loader to the MAIN hd...presuming you have os x on =20= there still and have the loader in the root directory of your primary =20= HD and partition (which again must be HFS) -- you can load your =20 kernel via a command similar to boot hd:,\loader devaliasdevice:partition in which the kernel should =20 be searched specifically for me (with the MY alias acquired via the devalias =20 command) 0> boot hd:,\loader ultra1:5 this says boot the loader on the first harddrive in the root =20 directory (boot hd:,\loader) and then the second parameter ultra1:5 =20 tells the loader and openfirmware where to locate the kernel and =20 required boot time material --hope that helps -jt On 23 Nov 2005, at 17-5-100GMT-05:00, #kirm3s# wrote: > ok... > got my partition table or what pdisk tells it is : > > Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/rdisk1' > #: type name length base ( size ) > 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 > 2: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_1 209720 @ 64 (102.4M) # should be /=20= > var fdisk told is too small for / i think.... > 3: Apple_Free 262144 @ 209784 (128.0M) > 4: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_2 1835008 @ 471928 (896.0M) # =20 > should be my swap > 5: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_3 524288 @ 2306936 (256.0M) # =20 > should be / > 6: Apple_Free 262144 @ 2831224 (128.0M) > 7: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_4 36008952 @ 3093368 ( 17.2G) # =20 > should be /usr > 8: Apple_Free 16 @ 39102320 > > Device block size=3D512, Number of Blocks=3D39102336 (18.6G) > DeviceType=3D0x0, DeviceId=3D0x0 > > what would you suggest should work for : > > 0> boot cd :, =DA boot =DA loader hd:11 ??? > thx, > #kirm3s# > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
