If you're OF'ing blind you could try boot /pci@f2000000/<something like usb@1>/disk@1:,\\:tbxi (or ,\path\to\loader) I think all G4s have the usb device under pci@f2000000, but I may be wrong. The usb@# part varies per model, and sometimes has a letter or ",1" or ",2" appended Each usb@# represents a specific usb port http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20101011105729488 A few likely strings in that thread, at least for example. Easier if you can google your device tree. Another idea I had was to boot with target disk mode and do installworld over firewire :) That may be the most painless, as I have removed the HDs from far too many Apple products to recommend doing that :) Matt
