I spent some time trying to get my PMac 6500 to boot into pmac-linux off of my internal IDE hard drive.  Here are the OpenFirmware boot variables that finally worked for me.



boot-device:     "ata/ata-disk@0:7" (insert your root partition for 7)

boot-file:       "/vmlinux root=/dev/hda7" (replace 7 again...)



input-device:    "kbd"

output-device:   "/bandit/ATY,264GT-B" (screen alias is broken...)



Do not enter quotes into the Boot Variables control panel.



Hope this helps people!

yea, but what would be the correct variables for a SCSI disk at ID 1?  scsi/sd@1:0 does NOT work.
