It appears that there was some sort of autoboot script present before I flashed the firmware. Now there is not?

How do I restore that feature?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Correction, I do believe I've found all I need.

I followed this:

First make sure its working when typing the commands by performing a test boot. Then, define a boot file and set options. Boot command and boot device will be added by using the Open Firmware.
> setenv boot-file boot.img ramdebug

There are alias names available if you did not remove them, so this /pci/ stuff can be replaced by a simple ide:0.
> setenv boot-device /pci/ide/disk@...

Now, we set the auto boot delay. By default the Open Firmware counts down from 5 before starting auto boot. This would be a 5 second delay. It is possible to set up lower or higher numbers. It is recommended to refrain from using values below 1000, because it may be very hard to re-enter the Open Firmware command line interface again otherwise. The optimal values are between 3000 and 10000. (4000 equals 4 seconds, 1000 equals 1 second, and so on.)
> setenv auto-boot-timeout 3000

You may skip this for now. Using "boot" command without any argument will use the configuration specified above. If its working fine you finally can enable automatic booting using those set-ups.
> setenv auto-boot? true

Now I get:
error: error while trying to load or boot

FINALLY!

From this link:

I learned of the command:

boot ide:0 boot.img

So for the second SETENV command I just put this instead:

setenv boot-device ide:0 boot.img

EDIT: The only problem now is that it will boot off my old IDE hard drive, but not off my CF card.

Is there anything special I should be doing once I set up my paritions before the install? I forget.

Refomatted CF into 1 large partition, now works. Strange.

Having a single partition on Efika is not that bad, as it saves alot of memory. (buffers etc.)

THat is handy to know, I'd be curious to find more techniques I could use to preserve resources on the Efika.
