Re: Can't start installation via yaboot at OpenFirmware prompt
IIRC the Apple_Driver partitions need to be at the beginning of the
disk immediately after the Partition Map.
This may not be relevant to your current problem.

I just used Drive Setup to do a Custom Initialization on the drive.
I created 3 partitions: the first one was about 1700MB and I
specified it to be of type "Linux Home". The second I made 256MB and
specified it to be of type "A/UX swap". The third took the rest of
the disk (about 5GB) and I specified to be of type "Macintosh
Standard".
I then copied the four files to the newly appeared "untitled" disk
icon, and rebooted into OpenFirmware. I then tried "boot
hd:2,yaboot" all the way through "boot hd:10,yaboot", and they all
reported the same thing: "can't OPEN: hd:2,yaboot" (or something
similar).
Next suggestion from anyone?
Thanks!
Kent
