Hrm. I don't *think* it's that -- this guy doesn't even get to the
openboot prompt. Just cycles through watchdog resets (in the little
status LCD display) until there's no power left. When you had your
problem, were you able to get to the boot prompt, or was it this
early? How would I go about telling it to look at a cdrom?
