Re: PowerBook G3 can't boot from hard drive

[Pablo Cabrera <binchmod777%gmail.com@localhost>]

I answer to myself:
You need a nvram patch. It's attached to this mail.
If your PMU battery is dead, you have to install it each time you
reboot the machine.
You can install it using "nvedit". Alternatively, you can use a Mac OS
X 10.2 install CD to install it automatically. Just set "auto-boot?
false" to prevent the installer start.
Then boot with the command "boot ide0/disk@0:0"

If the network interface doesn't work you can use a trick. Try to boot
from network (boot enet:) and abort the process quickly; then boot
from the hard disk.

If the booting stops, set real-base to F00000, load-base to 600000,
and detach the CD-ROM drive from the bay.
