Re: Trouble booting Debian on Firewire iBook
Okay, fixed the partition type, then ran 'ybin -C /target/etc/yaboot.conf -m
/target/etc/ofboot.b', which returned several 'yaboot.conf: line too long' (or
something like that) errors; then, when I try to do the 'boot hd:9' bit, I get:
parsing <CHRP-BOOT>
DEFAULT CATCH!, code=70 at %SRR0: ff80b648 %SRR1: 0000b030
ok
Do I need to do something further to my yaboot.conf file? It's basically the
default one, just with the partition number changed.
Thanks,
Brian Dunnette
