7300/200 Weirdness...



Hi all,

Machine:        PowerPC 7300/200

Sorry for these possibly stupid questions, but I am genuinely befuddled by these....
1.)  Setting output device in OF to /chaos/control has worked twice out of 
about ~60 boots.  I'm getting fed up of operating from a serial 
link...  Has anyone else experienced any problems like this.  I appreciate 
it could be put down to "it just won't do it! " but why then did it work 
twice...?
And I'm REALLY confused by the dev tree.... I can find no listing of ATY or 
IMS....
"If that also doesn't work on your machine, look in the device tree for a 
PCI device that contains the name of your video card (preceded by "ATY," 
for an ATI card, or "IMS," for a Twin Turbo card). Some examples are 
"/bandit/ATY,mach64" and "/bandit@F4000000/IMS,tt128mb8A". "  Anyone got 
any more ideas on what I should be looking for???

2.) I just cannot get the boot floppy to work; I've had various stages of success but the furthest I got was about 0.5 seconds of booting then the spinning progress line. Then that's it, nothing.
Sorry if this is a bit vague.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Cheers.
