Yeah; as mentioned above, I figured that out today. Still, it's good to get verification that I did the right thing.Your /target/etc/yaboot.conf should have something like boot=/dev/hde6 device=ide0: timeout=50 fgcolor=light-cyan install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot macos=/dev/hde14 macosx=/dev/hde15 image=/vmlinux label=Linux read-only partition=7 root=/dev/hde7Having taken a break from this issue for a few days, I'm now back at it. Since the above suggestions and resulting errors, I have done the following: chroot /target which gave me a shell with /target as my top level root sh-2.05a# mount -t proc proc /procwhich mounted the proc filesystem. Previous to this step, "ls /proc" showed no files. Now it shows a normal-looking /proc directory.sh-2.05a# ybin -v which generated these errors: ybin: Finding OpenFirmware device path to '/dev/hde6' . . . ofpath: Device: /dev/hde not supported ybin: Unable to find OpenFirmware path for boot=/dev/hde6 ybin: Please add ofboot=<path> where <path> is the OpenFirmware path to /dev/hde6 to /etc/yaboot.confIf you're in the chroot, you need to mount /proc so it can find the nvram chroot /target mount -t proc proc /proc ybin -v Sorry I forgot about that earlier.
Pretty much exactly what you have listed at the top of this message, except that macos is on 13 and macosx is on 14 (I reinstalled adn repartitioned again and changed things a tiny bit) and I changed the "device=" and "fgcolor=" lines.And then pretty much the same error messages for /dev/hde14 and /dev/hde14. So I then editted /target/etc/yaboot.conf and added the line: ofboot=cd:6that shouldn't be cd:6, in your case I would try ide0:6. What does the rest of your yaboot.conf look like? But first just try mounting /proc.
boot=/dev/hde6 device=cd: timeout=50 fgcolor=cyan install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot macos=/dev/hde13 macosx=/dev/hde14 image=/vmlinux label=Linux read-only partition=7 root=/dev/hde7I used "cd:" instead of "ide0" because I booted into the installation from the OpenFirmware prompt using the command "boot cd:14,yaboot" (partition 14 is mislabled in yaboot.conf above; should be "macstandard" or something). Looking at the output of "devalias", "cd" corresponded more accurately to "hd" (except on the other controller) than it did to "ide0:", as shown here:
Interesting things from "devalias": ------------------ ide0 /pci/@d/mac-io/ata-3@20000 ide1 /pci/@d/pci-ata@1/ata-4@0 hd /pci/@d/pci-ata@1/ata-4@0/disk@0 cd /pci/@d/mac-io/ata-3@20000/disk@0 zip /pci/@d/mac-io/ata-3@20000/disk@1 And let me say that I've really been appreciating Chris' input on my issue. He's put a lot of time and effort into helping me. Thanks! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
