as already told, "Device 1" is no devicealias. the output of "devalias" shows these... you have to give the full hardwarepath to the disk you are trying to boot from OR create a devicealias to this disk with the "nvalias" command.
what ist the output of "showdisks" (or is it show-disks?) from ok prompt?

btw. your command should maybe be:
Code:
ok boot /pci@1e,6000000/ide@d/disk@0,1

or is it disk1,0? don't know for sure so you have to test...

Hi again,
No luck.
If I boot

ok boot /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/disk@1,0 OR 0,1

computer crashes and then reboots into 0,0

I guess I'll just have to swap disks physically which is not ideal.
thanks.
regards,
lew
