(and i think ive heard that the hack in question may not be necessary anyway). ybin already supports installing and configuring for the IBM CHRP setup (dd to bootstrap partition). so all we need to do in dbootstrap is check for that arch and check for a 0x41 partition instead of Apple_Bootstrap, those will also have the requirement that /boot be the same disk as / and bootstrap unlike newworld powermac. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
