Hello,

I looked through the FAQ, but couldn't find the answer to my question.

I've got an old style G3, 300MHz running Open Firmware 2.4.

The machine has a SCSI hard drive, and also CDROM and ZIP100 on the 
internal ATA bus.  Machine also has a floppy drive.

When I boot up into open firmware 2.4, I try to go to the scsi hard 
drive,

	0>dev scsi

and then

	0>ls

output:

	Children of the node:
	FF83EC08:	/mesh@10000		[mesh]

	Node Adr		Node Name		Compatible

	FF840C90:	/sd@0,0			[sd]
	FF8419E8:	/st@0,0			[st]
  	ok	

and then I try to go to the scsi partition for the hard dirve - to find 
the boot image,

	0>dev sd
	0>ls
output
	There are no children of node:
	FF840C98:	/sd@0,0		[sd]
when I type
	0>words
the long list of options includes load, list, close, and open - so I 
assume it is bootable
but when I look inside to find the bootloader and kernel that I put in 
the top level of the OS9 hard drive, I get,
	0>dir
	unable to open DIR device
I've tried
	0>dir scsi/sd@x
for values of x=0,1,...10, but each time I get the same error, "unable 
to open DIR device"

I'd be happy to hear any good suggestions about how to get the thing to 
boot.

thanks!
