Ok - now I have read all the Documentation at penguinppc.org/projects/
except for the Quik Documentation, the XFree86 Status (not needed yet)
and parts of the Open Firmware Technotes linked by the Yaboot
Documentation, because I think they won't help me at the moment.
I know a little more of my ibook now, but I'm still not able to delete
the partition table of my harddisk with Open Firmware commands.
It is possible that I missed something again, if so, then please send me back
with another polite RTFM ;-)
Or isn't it possible to manipulate data on harddisks from within Open
Firmware? It should be, as I saw read and write as "words" for my
harddisk device and even "initdevice", but I couldn't find documentation
on how to use them.
I have not given up yet, and I'm ready to read a lot more Documentation, if
you think it's necessary.
thx
