I have a PM4400 myself as my /macppc system.
I've been unable to make it auto-boot, but I do have it to the point
where it comes up to the " ok\n0 > " prompt on power-up, and if I type
"boot" there it boots.
I suspect it's not much help to you, because what I have in boot-device
is "ata/ata-disk@0:0", and I can't remember how I got there from
getting the machine with MacOS on it. In particular, I can't recall
whether I first booted from the net or from floppy or maybe set the
disk up on another IDE-capable machine I have or what.
I'll be happy to chat about it off-list if you like. (Assuming you can
get mail to me; it's amazing and depressing the number of providers
whose mailservers are behind path MTU discovery black holes.)
