I'm having a bit of a nightmare getting my dualboot system to boot into MorphOS by default, I have OS X installed on a separate physical drive.

I followed the guide here:

http://dreamolers.binaryriot.org/dualboot.pdf

But issuing the command

setenv boot-command boot hd:x,\\bootinfo.txt

Says it can't find the device (sd:1,) I think on the G5 it must live on my SD1:\\ partition.

If I type dir sd1:\\ I see bootinfo.txt and various other files

So then I type

setenv boot-command boot sd1:\\bootinfo.txt

Reboot and I get the error

load-size=73c adler32=3e2bc00b
DISK-LABEL : Invalid partition # can't OPEN: /ht/pci@5/k2-sata-root/k2-sata@1/disk@0::,\boot.img
Can't open device or file

and I'm dumped into Open Firmware.

Is there something that needs editing in my bootinfo.txt file?

Did you verify which boot.img file is installed ? The 64 bits for g5 or the 32 bits for g4 ? The boot.img for g5 has the following md5 : 32a7320028ff71c20c7f5ca3fbb6f1f86. The boot.img for g4 has the following md5 : a3b4f5397a8fb48badbcbdbdb92371388. Check yours.

Which means you did not follow the guide as it is specifically meant for dual booting from a single drive.

That's because hd: does not point to the drive you want to boot from - most likely. What you need to do is to type Code: in OF and figure out what name to use there - could be hd1 or so.
