Hi,

since I worked on other things first I was just now able to try an installation on my Efika now.
But I ran into some trouble.

writing boot "hd0:0 di_efika" at the OF promt returns an
"bootimage format is of an unknown format".

ls hd0:0 lists the content of the usb stick correctly. md5 of di_efika is the same as the given md5 on the efika.de page.
If I just write boot hd0:0 fooba (which doesn't exist on the stick of course) the OF tells me the same (bootimage format is of unknown format).

What's wrong then? I guess it's just some simple thing, but at least I didn't recognized.

Try DI_EFIKA (with capital letters).

But the OF lists the file as di_efika (small letters) seems contraintuitive to me to try this with capital letters. Will do so anyway...

Prob was that the di_efika and kernel_efika file must be renamed to capital letters after download.
Done that, now it works (more or less, the sis gfx card causes some trouble still).
