James,
sd = SCSI device
@ = at
4 = SCSI ID
0 = partition
This tells OF to boot off the internal bus (which is probably
what you want on the 7600, which is a dual SCSI bus Mac), from
the drive at SCSI ID 4 (which is probably *not* what you want,
see below), off the first bootable partition.
If you are booting from your internal hard drive, then you most
likely want:
> boot scsi-int/sd@0:0
If you have properly installed boot blocks, this should work.
You can set OF up so this is the default
> set boot-device scsi-int/sd@0:0
So next time you boot, all you have to do is type boot from the
OF prompt.
Hope this helps.
