It is suggested in the yaboot installation manual that the bootstrap should be the second partition - you can reorder using mac-fdisk. If you search the list for Feb9, I received a lot of helpful suggestions - subject "Trouble with Dual Boot". Have you reset the PRAM Cmd + Opt +P+R on boot - it may need resetting after your previous attempts. Here's my set-up but it's not a PowerBook:I've installed the 1.3.10 but I have troubles too: If I make ofpath /dev/hdc (my HD in Debian) it tells me that not such device but if I make /dev/hdb it tells me ultra1: I have tested the following yaboot.conf: boot=/dev/hdb9 // hdc9 in Linux is my bootstrap partition device=ultra1: partition=11 //that's my root partition ... ... image=/vmlinux label=linux root=/dev/hdb11 read-only Then when I make ybin it tells me: hmount /dev/hdb9 error opening medium ybin /dev/hdb9 appears to have never had a bootstrap installed, please run mkofboot. My hdc9 in linux is my bootstrap partition (fdisk tells me) but if I change hdb - hdc it says that the hdc it's not supported. Any sugerence? Any person can offer me the yaboot.conf? I have hdc9 bootstrap partition, 10 swap, 11 root, 13 var, 14 usr and 15 home.
yaboot.conf: boot=/dev/hda2 (where Apple_Bootstrap resides) magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot brokenosx (added as a suggested fix but makes no difference) macosx=hd:10 (where MacOS9.2 and MacOSX reside) delay=5 timeout=50 root=/dev/hda11 device=hd: image=vmlinux partition=11 label=Linux read-only /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/hda11 / ext2 etc. below /dev/hda12 none swap proc /proc proc /dev/fd0 /floppy auto /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 /dev/hda13 /usr ext2 /dev/hda14 /var ext2 /dev/hda15 /tmp ext2 /dev/hda16 /home ext2 HTH Clive ____________________________ Clive Menzies & Associates Limited strategies for business http://www.clivemenzies.co.uk 75 Priory Road, London N8 8LR d/l: 020 8348 0996 fax: 087 0705 2066
