Q: Open Firmware: "dir method failed"
Hello,
I've a problem when I try to turn to my hd or cd from Open Firmware. What I'm doing wrong?
I tried: 0 > boot atapi:,\boot\loader
It returns: bad partition number, using 0no bootable HFS partition
So, I tried: 0 > boot atapi@0:,\boot\loader
It exit from OF, try to boot, but unfortunately, I see '?' floppy.
So I tried to read from my cd with 'dir' command: 0 > dir atapi:,\
But I get: bad partition number, using 0DIR method failed
And also with the @0 I get this message: can't OPEN the DIR device
So I tried to read from the hd with this command (after I execuded the "nvalias hd (device-path)"): dir hd:,\
but again I get this error message: bad partition number, using 0DIR method failed.
When I perform all this commands I definitely hear a 'request noise' from cd, in 'dir atapi' case, and from hd, in 'dir hd' case.
My devalias atapi /bandit/ohare/media-bay/ata/atapi-disk
and devalias hd /bandit/ohare/ata/ata-disk@0
I have Open Firmware 2.0.1 version, PowerBook 3400c, and also my cd is iso9660 type
Please help me, what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alex
