    I think that's right (so says the FE Handbook), but at the 'ok'
    prompt, you might try
    ok probe-scsi
    and see what the system thinks. You might also try something like
    ok show-disks
    It should come back with a list and a request to select one. You should
    see one hard disk; so, select it and then
    ok boot ^Y (--control-Y--)

    At least, this sequence worked for me when I needed the boot PROM to tell
    me what it thought mi disk was.
