My responses are inline this time. It's easier when there's so much |

Okay, these look exactly as expected. You've booted into the shell fine |
| 15 |
and the kernel does detect the hard drive fine. It appears that the disk |
| 16 |
was not cleanly unmounted, which is what the messages in the bottom |
| 17 |
picture indicate. Once you get USB working so we can type into the |
| 18 |
console, we'll take a look at what's actually going on. |

If you use menuconfig and you go to the "Help" option, it will tell you |
| 24 |
what dependencies need to be set in order to build the module. Most |
| 25 |
likely, you did not set the USB subsystem itself to be built in. |

You're using the old style driver which results in devices named hdX#. |
| 42 |
It's called IDE_PMAC. The new driver which uses the sdX# naming |
| 43 |
convention (and uses libpata), is called PATA_MACIO. |

I would built it in for now, it'll be easier since there's no good way |
| 50 |
to get into the system to tell it to load the drivers. |
