You're right - I should have called on yaboot, not tbxi, but  
OpenFirmware doesn't seem to like either.  My OF session went as  
follows...

	Welcome to Open Firmware, the system time and date is: 17:46:12  
04/12/2007

	To continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return.
	To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return.

Any idea if it is that OF can't open a channel to the drive, or that  
it can't read from the medium?

Thanks for the help!
