have you tried /bandit@F2000000/ADPT,2940UW@E/@2:0 <-- notice the :0

you need to specify that partition number to quik, quik uses partition
0 to indicate that it should use the parititon marked bootable in the
partition table.  i think you could specify the root partition here as
well but im not sure of that.

dev aliases are only tested on newworld hardware (imacs, blue G3, g4s
etc) its not guarenteed to work on older OF.  (and it seems it does
not)  it could just be a different command too hard to say. 

let me know if your kernel (if 2.2.15) boots ;-)
