I got quik 1.3.1 installed (Thanks Scott)

Has anyone run into Default Catch errors when using quik?

Now when I get to the second stage loader and I type in 'linux',
I receive a 'Default Catch! code=FFF003000' error and I get thrown into the
Open Firmware.

I can boot off a floppy with no problem.

I have also tried changing the load-base variable to 10000, 60000, 100000
and 1000000 to no avail.

here is my /boot/quik.conf file:

#/boot/quik.conf
init-message="type 'linux'\n"
# First bootable partition
partition=2
timeout=600
read-only
default=linux
image=/vmlinux-2.2.11
        root=/dev/sda3
        append="ncr53c8xx=disc:n,ultra:n,sync:255,tags:0,verb:2"
        label=linux2211
        alias=linux

The vmlinux and quik.conf files are located in the /boot directory and
/dev/sda2 partition. The root partition is /dev/sda3

Here is my openfirmware setting:

The boot-disk variable is set to disk2:0

The ANS key is set to the unlock position

Any suggestion, I am stumped.

Edwin
