Re: Panther-Upgrade and no more linux on PBG4 12" - one step?

[Georg Koss <g.koss@nextra.at>]

Hello again,

probably I'm one diagnostic step further :-|

I copied linux.bin, yaboot, yaboot.conf and images-1.44/root.bin to my
MacOSX root-partition. After that done I rebooted to OF-prompt and
gave a
     boot hd:8,yaboot
which starts yaboot 1.3.10 on hd:8 must be my MacOSX-partition if I
interpreted <mount> on macosx-terminal correctly.

Yaboot now gave me the warning that my bootstrap partition has changed
its type from Apple_Bootstrap to Apple_HFS :-P

If I try to boot one of the images (install, install-safe or the image
of O. Buckminster I have here as well from my first install) the usual
short start of booting with its last message 
      openpic: exit

afterwards an automatic power-off a second later occurs, as I described
in a former mail.

So I assume that the solution must be to change that bootstrap's
partition. 

Problem is that I'm not able to boot any debian-installer even from my
install-cd. :((((

Does anybody know a possibility to manipulate the
bootstrap-partition's type from macos or anywhere/anyhow else X^\

Thanks for patience and help/hints in advance.
