Re: Advice on a iBook ...
I was not using a bootstrap and it was working just
fine.
Now .. at some times the OF said something like ...
can't open hd:,\\:tbxi
here is my yaboot.conf ...
image=hd:,\\\\vmlinux
label=vmlinux
root=/dev/hda10
append="video=atyfb:mode:800x600-8"
I will try
http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc/mac-fdisk-basics.txt
with the bootstrap partition ...
How it looks your yaboot.conf for the multiboot ? ...
Blessings ...
Carlos.
