have you tried /bandit@F2000000/ADPT,2940UW@E/@2:0 <-- notice the :0

I think I tried it, but have to retry. What I tried and what didn't work
was the following:
0 > setenv boot-device /bandit/ADPT,2940UW/@2:0  ok
0 > boot  can't OPEN: /bandit/ADPT,2940UW/@2:0

Only to show, bandit and ADPT,2940UW are known:
0 > dev /bandit  ok
0 > dev ADPT,2940UW  ok
0 > pwd /bandit@F2000000/ADPT,2940UW@E ok

Under ADPT I typed 'words' to see what's around, I didn't find a 'open'
as I find under 53c94. Doesn't mean that this is the point but it made
me curious.

you need to specify that partition number to quik, quik uses partition
0 to indicate that it should use the parititon marked bootable in the
partition table.  i think you could specify the root partition here as
well but im not sure of that.

let me know if your kernel (if 2.2.15) boots ;-)

Haeh, with bootx it still does, but the other way round I have to learn
a lot. Or buy a G4 ;-)

The last step would be attach an external narrow disk to the 53c94 and
try to boot from there. But this is a step back since the other disks
are UW/U2W.
