Only /target/usr/lib/ exists. So I decided first to remove it from comand line. So I wrote it should exist... but in any event -m /usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot is fine, and should work. perhaps you don't have your root filesystem mounted on /target this time around? > mkofboot --boot /dev/hdb2 --root /dev/hdb13 this will not render a bootable system. > Result : No such file or directory this is strange... > Create hfs file system on /dev/hdb2 [y/n] > > I answered yes to the question and mkofboot quits. If I write the command again, it will ask me again to create hfs file system, which seems strange to me. mkofboot always asks, ybin does not. thats the only difference between them, ybin never creates the filesystem, mkofboot always does. > Of course, no more operating system appears if I keep alt keep pressed during startup. see above > Have I done something wrong ?
