Kevin B. Hendricks's bits of Thu, 16 Mar 2000 translated to:

>setenv boot-device hd:9,\\bootinfo.txt

Any idea if hd: is an IDE only type of thing? Running devalias from
open firmware only shows disk devices that appear to be ata. And
every hd:X I have tried just spits out "boot can't OPEN: hd:...".
Any clues about how one would specify partitions on a SCSI drive?
