Beige G3 booting again

[an...@softbook.com]

Can someone explain this to me:
On a beige G3 266 the "ide" OF entry has a child called disk. (
pci/mac-io/ide/disk)
The only property of the disk is "name" . Now looking at ofdev.c in
(macppc/stand/ofwboot ) in devopen routine the code returns ENXIO if the
"device-type" property is not found.
How is it possible to boot from an internal ide drive on this machine? Or
am I missing something abundantly clear?
TIA
Andy

I believe it's a 2.0.4 version of the OF.
So the system disk patch actually creates a "device-type" property in
/pci/mac-io/ide/disk ?
