Open Firmware help

[Joshua Winsor]

I know this is off topic, but I think this is the best place to get a
possible solution


 I am trying to get Darwin installed on an UMAX S900,  I am having great
difficulties with the kernel loader.  I have concluded that  the open
firmware is not actually passing any of the boot variables to the the
kernel loader.

 I grabbed the nvramrc from the System Disk Application's OFsb resource
#128 (PowerSurge) that came with the Darwin installer.

Does anyone out there have experience with S900's firmware being
different from  9500's, or anyone with experience getting  Rhapsody DR2
booting on and S900 that could be explained by such problems?


 This is what the bootloader is outputing
