Beige G3/266 w/ Open Firmware 2.4:

I can still run this machine with a borrowed "old" ROM, but it
struck me that I should be ablr to boot from a kernel on the IDE disk!

I've now tried booting with the kernel on the IDE disk, and I get some
strange results.

What I get that's closest to working is:

	boot /pci/mac-io/ide/disk@0:2,\netbsd

This gives me a hang.  Variations on this give me non-bootable partition,
missing file name, etc.

Should I be able to do this?  The netbsd kernel (called "netbsd" is on the
root level of the ide disk.)  The partition number does not seem to matter
as long as the partition number > 1.

??

Thanks,
