Okay, with the keyboard connected via wires stuck into the connectors, cmd-option-O-F got me into OF. I fumbled around for quite a while, unable to figure out how to name the disk drive, until I finally in desperation opened the box in case I'd left the disk disconnected or some such. Turned out I'd reconnected the 40-pin data cable - but not power. *facepalm* With that fixed, it booted from ata/ata-disk@0:,\ofwboot.xcf very nicely. Well, almost; it did print "bad partition number, using 0" but it then proceeded to successfully boot the system I left on that disk back in...well, dumpfs on / says "Mon Mar 9 02:14:31 2009". But I now have a working macppc machine again! I just need to find that battery holder so I don't need to reset everything every time I leave it powered off for more than a few moments. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
