Jason, Derrick

Many thanks for your prompt replies.

Jason, I edited as above and now I get pass the first stage of  
booting but booting fails at the second stage:

ramdisk loaded at 01c00000, size 1326 bytes
Invalid memory access at ¹SRR0: 014080 e4 ¹SRR1: 00083030
Apple Powerbook6,8 4.90f0 Boot ROM built on 01/10/05 at 10:39:14  
"etc.etc"

To continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return
To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return
	ok,
0 > _

If I type "mac-boot" I come back to the "Invalid memory access" message.
