Hi, In openfirmware it's 'boot hd:,ofwboot /bsd' when I boot my 2nd drive in the G5 I actually type 'boot ultra1:,ofwboot' which loads the loader and then I type 'boot -a bsd' inside that to finally boot into the kernel. What's important is the device alias 'hd' or 'ultra0' or 'ultra1' followed by a colon and a comma to load the boot program (usually called ofwboot). Hope that helps, -peter
