It says the internal ide is /pci/mac-io/ide at 20000.  Making this the
boot-device causes an instantaneous DEFAULT-CATCH.

I ran quik 1.3.1 in linux beforehand, with a reasonable quik.conf.
I'd rather have used the MacOS quik - that's always worked better for
me on other machines that boot this way.  But in this case it says
it's unable to write to the ide drive.  That was MacOS quik 1.3 - if
there's a 1.3.1 version for MacOS, I couldn't find it.

OF is "unable to open" any variant of this I could come up with.

Thanks anyway, but I guess this machine is stuck with BootX.
