I tired this, it tried to boot off /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/disk@0 HOwever it simply reports, "No boot record found" I'm thinking two things * Openboot is trying to boot off the wrong disk; is there any way to list the devices on the system so I can try them manually, or even better which ones I can boot from. * Even though I followed all the steps from sysinstall, it's possible that a boot sector (MBR in intel world), however unlike the normal sysinstall I wasn't prompted to install a loader after the disk partitioning table. If I can prove any extra information, please don't hesitate to ask, Thanks for your time and troubles. -- regards, -mark - Mark Campbell <mark_campbell@redbrick.dcu.ie> http://mark.redbrick.dcu.ie - "Trying is the first step towards Failure"- Homer J.
