What you do need is wrong, there is a concept of a bootable bit in mac partition tables, there is no userland utility that gives you much control of it, but /sbin/quik knows how to set it when installing its first stage bootblock. > a small (32MB) partition with the type and name set to Apple_Bootstrap. no 800K not 32MB. 32MB is a rediculous and absurd waste of space. out of 800K less then 100 are actually used for yaboot/ofboot. (but HFS requires a minimum of 800K) do yourself a favor and give that 32MB to your swap partition instead of just throwing it away. > That is what yaboot/ofboot is installed into. yes but this is only for newworld macs. this method does not work on oldworlds. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
