Hi Dave,

I just built a fresh CD with the latest loader/kernel, and it
works OK on my eMac. So,
From the OpenFirmware prompt, can you do a directory of /boot/kernel/ ?
i.e.
0 > dir cd:,\boot\kernel\
3447548 12/ 9/ 3 19: 4:40 kernel ok
Then, it should be able to be seen from the loader prompt:
OK ls -l /boot/kernel
/boot/kernel
3447548 kernel
> I still get tons of method <seek> not found errors...
This can be avoided with the new loader by specifying currdev as
the first parameter e.g.
0 > boot cd:,\boot\loader cd:,
later,
Peter.
