Hello ^^)
here is the problem : I have an openfirmware machine with enormous boot disks, 3 to 8 TB big disks.
even the smallest 3 TB disk have 20 bootable partitions on it, of various filesystems types.
problem is that I can't boot from it as the boot part recog fail at the 13th partition and doesn't go further and return to of shell.
it stops at boot part recog when it reach the 13th part of the disk, saying it can't find any bootable part.
what puzzle me is that on the 20 bootable parts it just have recog the 12 first fine...
You haven't told above what machine and what open firmware implementation are you using but I've seen your posts on the MorphOS list where you said you run on A-Eon X5000. According to this page:
http://wiki.amiga.org/index.php?title=X5000#Firmware
That machine doesn't have open firmware but uses U-Boot so likely this list is not the right place to get help with that. As it's a modified U-Boot probably even the U-Boot list was not the best place. Your best bet might be asking A-Eon about that or check their sources of the X5000 firmware that should be available under GPL.
that's right, uboot is first level booter when OF is second level booter, the part that really boot the AmigaOS ^^)
uboot configure the hardware then hand on the booting to OF.
an idea why this happens ?
Not really because you haven't given enough details to even guess.
guess what ? X5000 ^^) same problem on x1000 where it is called by CFE first level booter.
is it a limitation of openfirmware ?
Maybe but that does not matter as you're not running open firmware.
in fact I do. compiled in uboot callable form.
is there a solution for this ?
Likely yes but we don't know. Maybe try on MorphOS list or A-Eon forums posting more details about what exactly you do and what errors you get.

When I look at the Openfirmware sources, there are a lot of FS listed as supported but only a few are in the fs folder (ext2, grubfs, hfs, hfsplus and iso9660)
Which sources did you look at exactly?
where can I find all the others ? (FFS, SFS, NTFS, etc...)
No idea, I don't think any open firmware implementation supports these maybe except the SmartFirmware of Pegasos2 but that wasn't open sourced by bPlan.
Thanks zoltan ^^)
Amigalement,
