Which debian-imac release are you using, the 2.2 or 3.0? Perhaps there's
been some corruption of the yaboot binary or something.
The installation instructions pointed me to a .sit archive at
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/debian-imac/debian-imac.sit; that

As an experiment, I used pdisk to delete the 14th partition, named
"MacShared". I then recreated it with the command:
C 14p 14p MacOS Apple_HFS
and wrote the changes to disk. I then rebooted.
When OS 9 finished booting, I saw the second disk icon still there, and
it was still named "MacShared". So I pulled up pdisk to see what it
thought about the partitions, and it shows:

So, my changes to partition 14 didn't "take". Any ideas?
