I tired this, it tried to boot off
/pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/ide at 3/disk at 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.
