OK. Then try with the aliases "ultra0" and "ultra1" (or maybe
"ultra2") for the first and second hard disk drives, for example:

0> boot cd:,\boot\loader ultra1:11

If the above aliases do not work, you can also specify the full path.
For example, for the second hard drive:

0> boot cd:\boot\loader /pci@f2000000/@d/mac-io@7/ata-4@1f000/disk@1:11

(use "disk@Z" for the Z hard disk on that particular ATA bus).

Hope that's helpful,
Marco.
