I know nothing about that and have never had to do such a thing historically. I've never had to identify "4.8.7f1 devices". > How are you starting loader? Turn the PowerMac on with the SSD already plugged onto the IDE adapter that I have in place. (The G3 is configured such that I also have to type mac-boot to OpenFirmware.) It is the same SSD being moved between the 2 dual-core socket G5, 2 socket G4, 1 socket G4, and the G3. So it is significant that the 2 socket G4/G5 do get to the loader prompt but the others do not. 1-socket G4/G3 example lines: QUOTE ofw_close: devh=0x0 >> FreeBSD/powerpc Open Firmware boot block Boot path: /pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/@0: Boot loader: /boot/loader Boot volume: /pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/@0:3 END QUOTE No more shows up for the 1 socket PowerMacs. > Is this on cdrom, network, or usb?
