Comments/Problems:
(note: I started out with daily build of 20040520, but that has a
completely broken partman ... )
It went quite smooth.
1. partman complained, that there is no valid NewWorld bootblock,
allthough
I created part2 of 800k with the correct names. But at least it let
me
continue.
2. install yaboot failed, complaining there is no valid boot block.
Poking around I found that it expects a 'hfs' formatted boot block.
And after some investigation I found that the following would get it
done
(from vc/2):
# chroot /target sh
# mount -t proc proc /proc
# mkofboot
# umount /proc
# exit
after that, the bootblock is fine and the installer is happy.
so am I :-)
Great toy, this new debian installer! Thanks!
Cheers,
Erich
