Im now able to boot from an 'external' scsi disk drive that appears in 
the open firmware but the internal ide drive is not regionised (it does 
not appear under ata-int as a 'disk@0:0' or something).
im going to try to load the system disk (ide related) patches and try 
again. so first i have to fix the serial console connection  with a 
intel bsd/linux powered machine to upload the damm patch.

im now going on a vacation for a few weeks but ill keep in touch on the 
progress

Cheers Koen
