yabootconfig fails on B&W G3
I've been fighting to get Debian installed on a Blue & White G3 for
several days, and after finally brute-forcing my way through the
OpenFirmware prompt ("boot hd:x,yaboot" didn't work -- had to resort to
"boot ide0/@0:x") have made it through the installation.
However, at the "Make system bootable" stage, yabootconfig fails. So I
popped into the second VT and ran "yabootconfig" manually. It failed
also, reporting that it "Could not determine root partition, aborting".
I looked for /etc/yaboot.conf, and the file does not exist.
My partition scheme looks like (using /dev/hde):
/dev/hde1
Apple_partition_map
Apple
/dev/hde2
Apple_Driver_ATA
Macintosh
/dev/hde3
Apple_Driver_ATA
Macintosh
/dev/hde4
Apple_Driver_IOKit
Macintosh
/dev/hde5 Apple_Patches Patch Partition
/dev/hde6 Apple_Bootstrap bootstrap
/dev/hde7
Apple_UNIX_SVR2
/
75MB
/dev/hde8
Apple_UNIX_SVR2
/tmp 25MB
/dev/hde9
Apple_UNIX_SVR2
/usr 1400MB
/dev/hde10
Apple_UNIX_SVR2
/var 250MB
/dev/hde11
Apple_UNIX_SVR2
/home 165MB
/dev/hde12
Apple_UNIX_SVR2
swap 132MB
/dev/hde13
Apple_HFS
untitled 1 100MB
/dev/hde14
Apple_HFS
untitled 2 3.9G
/dev/hde15
Apple_Free
Extra 5MB
Any ideas?
Thanks!
