Bug#340980: ofpath has to be modified to install yaboot on a iMac G5
Dear maintainers,
I made some progresses on the installation of debian on my iMac G5.
After intense googling, I found this the bug 321962 [1], which itself
leads to a patch [2] on the yaboot-devel mailing list.

[2] http://lists.penguinppc.org/yaboot-devel/2005/yaboot-devel-200506/msg00055.html
Fortunately, the patch is very simple: 8 lines to remove. I booted on
rescue mode, mounted my debian root partition, edited the ofpath script
with vi, and re-tried the yaboot installation. It works!
The bad news is that yaboot is not correctly configured, and that I had
to go to work instead of investigating further. Nevertheless, I send
this mail to avoid duplicated work, and will send an update if I finally
manage to boot debian...
Best,
--
