Finding information on the web shows me the OF node /chosen, in which
"bootpath" is a property. It had a bunch of hex values in it, so i
cleared it and then tried to boot after a cold boot. Now I just get a
DEFAULT CATCH:
0 > dev /chosen 0 encode-int " bootpath" property boot DEFAULT CATCH!,
code=FFF00300 at %SRR0: FF80AC9C %SRR1: 0000B070
Any clues?
