I'm having a small problem wit h SetPRAMBoot.  This is most likely an error on my
part (doh!).  I used it to set the boot PRAM so I could boot back to macos.  The
values I used were 2 0 0 9.  I'm thinking this is /dev/hda9.  Is this incorrect?
Anyways,  I tried to use the zap-PRAM keys to reset the thing, but it doesn't
recognize that I'm holding them down, and just boots directly back to linux.
Tried to boot from a cd, computer ignores that I'm holding C down.  System is a
Pismo Powerbook, Linux PPC 2000, with Ben's 2.2.15-pre14 kernel.  Any ideas?
