    Hi GMKai,

    That sounds as if there's a mistake in the boot-command (eg wrong partition number).

    It might be worth checking this bit again:
    Quote:

    To determine the partition number of the HFS boot partition type the following:

    dir hd:x,\\
    where x should be a number from 3 to n, depending on partition layout. If you see boot.img and bootinfo.txt files being listed, this is the correct one. Now type:

    setenv boot-command boot hd:x,\\bootinfo.txt
    replacing x with the partition number you just found.



    It might also just be worth checking that no typos have been made when inputting the boot-command using 'printenv boot-command' at the openfirmware prompt (eg mistaking colon for semicolon, forward-slash for back-slash, etc).

    Wasn't it possible to change that from OSX? IIRC I did it back then when Mac support came... haven't used dualboot anymore though.

    manually entering the command works...any known sideeffects when auto-booting?

    Weird. Maybe 'boot-device' is also set and causing problems?

    Boot-device and boot-file Are empty But automatic bootjing fails .
    I still getan an empty grey screen.
    Manually typing boot-command leads to Ambient.
