OpenFirmware lists no children under /pci/Apple53C875Card/ on the two
G3's with the Apple UltraWide SCSI card I have here. Thus when I try
that is gives me an error to the effect of cannot open device. Instead
the SCSI drives are listed as children of /pci/mac-io/mesh . When I try
boot /pci/mac-io/mesh/sd@0:0 I get the DEFAULT CATCH! and freeze too.
Is there maybe something in your nvramrc that is giving you access to
SCSI drives through /pci/Apple53C875Card/ ?
Thanks,
