Hope it works for you. eh? the target root partition is mounted on /target and base2_2.tgz, the kernel and modules are extracted there, once you boot /target becomes / because its mounted as the root filesystem. as for yaboot, you certainly don't need to go mucking around the ramdisk root filesystem to install it, the old way involved using -m /target/etc/ofboot.b or -m /target/usr/share/doc/yaboot/examples/ofboot.b. fortunatly that horrible mess has been fixed and the documentation has been updated to reflect that. the new command is something like this: mkofboot -b /dev/hda2 -m /usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot --root /dev/hda3 --partition 3 this will work on current boot floppies. the ofboot is now autogenerating you don't have to fsck with it anymore. that command will make your system bootable, you will still have to make a few changes to your /etc/yaboot.conf (after you boot from the hard disk into the installed base system) and rerun ybin. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
