Write printenv to find where (actually you will see more variables, not just load-base, and both current and default values), and eventually with setenv load-base 0xabcdefgh you could change it. As I know nothing about your hardware (actually being new to powerpc platform too, working with some Apple hardware a bit), I have no other recommendations for you. There could be even some memory problem, but this is just a wild uneducated guess. Regards, Milan
