After some weirdnesses with this, i finally have woody running on my
7248-133. I still use these "carolina..." image, booting with a floppy
disk. I couldn't get the "make bootable" option get done what is should
during base floppy installation. So i looked around in the later running
system and found man pages for yabootconfig, ybin, mkoboot ea. i created
with yabootconfig a base /etc/yaboot.conf, added nonvram and fstype=raw,
as man page tells. i created a bootable "typ 41" partiton of 2 mb with
cfdisk during installation as /dev/sda1, which should then carry the
bootloader i tried to install with mkoboot. But it didn't work. When
rebooting, the systeme want to eat the original SMS floppy disk.
So, how do i make my PReP system boot from HD? Is yaboot good for this?
