That made some difference to the installboot  it now reads out a series of
block numbers.

/mnt/usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /mnt/usr/mdec/bootxx /dev/rwd0a

This makes no difference to me at the boot prompt. I guess that I'm missing
the correct incantation of boot? And what is the significance those numbers
that installboot writes out?

    I've tried several different incantations of boot, has any one worked
out how to use the various forth word to query labels etc etc

    The other thought was that I have the firmware version installed as part
of MacOS X  remote boot for iMac - just thought I'd add this since I may
have tried the correct thing already and this was the problem ??

    If anyone has an iMac working please send me you boot string?
