Manual - FAQ correction ?? At least for my specific machine.

Everywhere is to read to use the full path. i.e.
setenv output-device /bandit@F2000000/ATY,XCLAIM_LTPro@D
However, since the devalias cariables all use
/bandit/something
instead of
/bandit@F2000000/
I used
setenv output-device /bandit/ATY,XCLAIM_LTPro@D
which made the AT card work in Open Firmare mode.
