hello.
i got a first generation ibook here which won't boot, because it was booted it into os9 (which normally shouldn't be a problem but §$%&???) and os9's startup-volumes control-panel doesn't show osx. so now it won't boot into osx any more.
currently (after some fruitless tries to set the of boot-device properly) it shows a blinking ?/mac-face-folder and just sits there.
starting with alt pressed doesn't show a bootable hardrive at all.
starting with command-alt-o-f open open firmware. i used printenv to show the boot-device (path to boot loader) which is hd:,\\:tbxi
which stands for [device]:[partition],[path][filename] according to http://www.netneurotic.de/mac/openfirmware.html
so i believe the partitionnumber is missing or the device is not specified correctly. how can i find out what this setting should really be?
please help
thanx
