can we know the OF commands you typed in to get it to boot? there are
a few beige G3 owners out there looking for help.

i had this problem a well, i figured it was something to do with
defining your main partition in a kernel conf. couldn't remember if i
had to do that in port-mac68k so i let it slide.
sounds like a sweet machine to play with. i wish that X would support
more than 8bpp tho =(
other PPC nix's seem to be able to do this (i think?) .. there must
be a serious reason why we cant?
