starting fresh

  I just built a fresh CD with the latest loader/kernel, and it
works OK on my eMac. So,

  From the OpenFirmware prompt, can you do a directory of /boot/kernel/ ?
i.e.

0 > dir cd:,\boot\kernel\
3447548 12/ 9/ 3 19: 4:40 kernel ok

  Then, it should be able to be seen from the loader prompt:

OK ls -l /boot/kernel
/boot/kernel
     3447548 kernel

 > I still get tons of method <seek> not found errors...

  This can be avoided with the new loader by specifying currdev as
the first parameter e.g.

0 > boot cd:,\boot\loader cd:,

later,

Peter.
