Hi Barry, Interesting idea. I hadn't considered that possibility as the early part of the boot, where I have the printk times for each step, clearly shows it as hda. However then in the init stages the system starts udev. Maybe that changes the name. With yaboot is there a way to edit the command line at boot time like there is with grub? I'm having a hard time because the Mac Mini seems to be dimming my monitor and I cannot read what's happening right before boot! I suppose I can edit the yaboot config file if necessary. Thanks, Mark
