I booted holding down command, option, O, and F, and I got the OF console
on screen.

boot fd:0 didn't work, for some reason. I got MacOS instead. So I typed
"setenv boot-device fd:0", and typed boot.

I got :

boot DEFAULT CATCH!, code @FFF00300 at %SRR0: 86628224 %SRR1 00045168

I typed bye to get to MacOS.

Suggestions?

Take care,

Bill
