WHOAAAA!! hold your horses =) command + option + O + F = the command sequence for OpenFirmware sounds like you have a second harddrive and need to find the openfirmware alias for this device... devalias in OF should help you in determining what your second HD is on the machine OF interacts with HFS volumes so thats the catch in all of this ish...namely we cannot tell OF to look into our UFS for freebsd....also your volumes are titled HFS which is apples concoction of a few FS's FFS and UFS etc...are those the right volumes?? something seems funky..... once you copy this loader to the MAIN hd...presuming you have os x on there still and have the loader in the root directory of your primary HD and partition (which again must be HFS) -- you can load your kernel via a command similar to boot hd:,\loader devaliasdevice:partition in which the kernel should be searched specifically for me (with the MY alias acquired via the devalias command) 0> boot hd:,\loader ultra1:5 this says boot the loader on the first harddrive in the root directory (boot hd:,\loader) and then the second parameter ultra1:5 tells the loader and openfirmware where to locate the kernel and 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 / > 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) # > should be my swap > 5: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_3 524288 @ 2306936 (256.0M) # > should be / > 6: Apple_Free 262144 @ 2831224 (128.0M) > 7: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_4 36008952 @ 3093368 ( 17.2G) # > should be /usr > 8: Apple_Free 16 @ 39102320 > > Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=39102336 (18.6G) > DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 > > what would you suggest should work for : > > 0> boot cd :, Ú boot Ú 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"home | help
