There is a problem with the patch, so please don't. When booting on the pegasosII I see the following problem: grub> set prefix=(/pci@80000000/ide@C,1/disk@0,0,3) That is when I am booting using `boot hd:4 grub)'. The prefix contains an OF device name which will not work in GRUB, mainly because of the comma's. Would it be possible to lookup the OF path in /aliases and set the prefix to the alias? That will be something that will work and is more user friendly I think. Another thing we could do, but which is a bit more ugly, is creating an alias. I am not sure if it is possible to create an OF alias from GRUB, but I assume it will be. Shouldn't the prefix end with a `/' like you mentioned in one of your other emails. So in this case: prefix=(/pci@80000000/ide@C,1/disk@0,0,3)/ Thanks, Marco
