My partition table looks like: you can, but you should NOT. ybin will set the boot-device variable, but if OF ever gets reset you get booted into MacOS and the only way to recover is booting manually from OF. which i am sick of explaining. if you put the bootstrap partition FIRST where it belongs then it will be booted when OF gets reset to its default values. > As you can see, I have the bootstrap partition after all my MacOS stuff > and it works perfectly, as I am writing this on that very machine under > Potato, running my own 2.2.18 kernel. This is on a Lombard PB. I don't > think you will be getting "craploads of e-mail" about this ... i already DO. please follow my instructions and put the bootstrap partition first if you want to save hassle. if you know what your doing and won't bother me with rtfm question then do it however the hell you want. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
