Can you send me a fdisk dump and a yaboot.conf? please look over the yaboot-faq and the partitioning tutorial i have at http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc/ i suspect your bootstrap parititon was not created properly, as the macos disk partitioner is deficient. you need to create the bootstrap and linux partitions with the linux mac-fdisk. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
