Comments/Problems:
At the install from the basesystem in expertmode it asks what kernel to install,
d-i defaults to a 2.6 smp kernel. This is not the right one, chosen
linux-image-2.6.12-1-powerpc64.
There is no way to create a PreP boot partition with partman.
To create a Prep partition I have to escape to shell and use parted.
At the stage to install the bootloader I get the following error:
yaboot-installer: mkofboot: Error in /etc/yaboot.conf: `magicboot' scripts
cannot be used with fstype=raw
To install the bootloader I have to chroot the installed system and manually
dd /usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot to /dev/sda1.
In the installed yaboot.conf is a line "device=", I have to comment it out to
get it to work.
Next we have our console at an HMC. I had todo the following to get the
console to work:
mknod hvc0 c 229 0
chown root:tty hvc0
chmod 600 hvc0
Add an entry in /etc/securetty for hvc0
Add an entry in /etc/inittab:
hvc0:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty -L hvc0 9600
System is now up 'n running
