Installing Woody on PowerMacG4 AGP - Yaboot from which partition?
Hi
I've read the docs for a diskless install but am having trouble
indentifying which partition to enter into yaboot for OF booting. I'm
running OSX on the first half of the disk and have formatted the other
half as HFS. Trying to list the partitions using pdisk gives :
Top level command (? for help): l /dev/ide
pdisk: can't open file '/dev/ide'
Top level command (? for help): l
Name of device: /dev/ata
pdisk: can't open file '/dev/ata'
Top level command (? for help): l
Name of device: /dev/ata/0
pdisk: can't open file '/dev/ata/0'
Top level command (? for help): l
Name of device: /dev/hda0
pdisk: can't open file '/dev/hda0'
Top level command (? for help): l
Name of device: /dev/hda0.1
pdisk: can't open file '/dev/hda0.1'
Top level command (? for help): l
Name of device: /dev/hda
pdisk: can't open file '/dev/hda'
Top level command (? for help): l
Name of device: dev/sda
pdisk: can't open file 'dev/sda'
Top level command (? for help): l
Name of device: /dev/disk0
pdisk: can't open file '/dev/disk0'
Top level command (? for help): l
Name of device: /dev/disk0s1
pdisk: can't open file '/dev/disk0s1'
I listed the devices in root (OSX) and the only block devices are:
brw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 0 Feb 5 22:19 disk0
br--r----- 1 root operator 14, 1 Feb 5 22:19 disk0s1
brw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 10 Feb 5 22:19 disk0s10
brw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 2 Feb 5 22:19 disk0s2
brw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 3 Feb 5 22:19 disk0s3
brw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 4 Feb 5 22:19 disk0s4
brw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 5 Feb 5 22:19 disk0s5
brw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 6 Feb 5 22:19 disk0s6
brw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 7 Feb 5 22:19 disk0s7
brw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 8 Feb 5 22:19 disk0s8
brw-r----- 1 root operator 14, 9 Feb 5 22:19 disk0s9
Is it likely to be partition 10 I need being the last one o the disk?
TIA
Clive
