How do I build a powerpc test image with the blessed folder in the root
on a Debian i386.
I think that could be the problem. You mean yaboot is within
/install/powermac, right? Not just inside /install? I think that would
definitely be a problem. When I wanted to change systems in MacOS, I
always used to de-bless a System Folder by moving its System inside
Startup Items (the second level). If the system-type item isn't
immediately within the top-level folder, the folder gets unblessed.
On Debian, the blessed folder is "powermac" within "install"
("/install/powermac") and contains yaboot, etc. "ofboot.b" is marked as
system. I don't know where ybin is, probably within the invisible apple
boot partition.
On Partimage, the blessed folder is "boot" in the root ("/boot"), where
"yaboot" is marked system.
On Suse 7.0, the blessed folder is "suseboot" in the root ("/suseboot"),
where "yaboot" is marked system. It also contains a fake "finder" and a
"system".
I'm changing cvs.debian.org/powerpc-specials/mini-iso.sh to put yaboot
and the kernel into the /install folder rather than right at the root
level. Should be fixed up in half an hour or so.
