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
