Hi guys, I have a PowerMac G5 with two hard drives. One drive is for OSX (IDE0) and one is for MorphOS (IDE1). When I use open firmware to try to find the hard drive with MorphOS, I can't find it at all. The only disk I can seem to find is my OSX one. I am using "dir hd:#,\\" on all numbers from 0 so far through 30. No idea how to set this up since I can't find it :)

Also, I've been a long time linux user and I have used Grub to dual boot with a quicker loading screen as opposed to holding Alt and waiting for the Mac to scan everything. Is there a grub-like alternative to doing the same idea?

As a partial answer to the above question, I would have place the initial boot partition on the OSX drive (doesn't take up much space).
I've got a second, though unrelated question.
I dual boot one G4 PowerMac off one 250GB drive.
I popped an iso CD of 3.2 into my superdrive and now I can't get the system to boot MorphOS from the CD or the hard drive.
Any ideas?

Alias hd: is only for IDE0
IDE1 has a different alias or not

Check DEVALIAS in OF and look for simular path (like alias hd) after command
DEV PCI LS

Second way , you can check in OSX DiskUtilities and option INFO (device tree)
e.g my macmini
OSX pci2/ata-6@D/@0:7
MOS pci2/ata-6@D/@0:3

listing boot partition MOS (HFS)
dir pci2/ata-6@D/@0:3,\

Of course MM has only one drive, but you already know where to look for.

Ah, on my g5 with two separate sata drives it was aliased to sd1:

Thanks! All is working now :)

There is a GRUB port for Pegasos here, i don't know if it works on Macs though.
