No luck. But at least, I get a different message with fw. When I type : boot fw:,\boot\loader fw:0 I get : method not found; ihandle=ffbc5540 phandle=ff986bc0 load-size=0 adler32=1 LOAD-SIZE is too small ok I get the same message with boot fw:,\boot\loader cd:0 boot fw:,\boot\loader fw1:0 boot fw:,\boot\loader fwx:0 Any ideas ? Edward BTW, I obviously lack basic OF knowledge.
