Re: PowerMac 7100/80 won't boot
I don't know the syntax for types;
I typed "Linux swap" in for the name when I used the "c" command and it
didn't work. "Linux native" however, automatically detected my type?????
I tried using a capital "C" and when it asked for type I said "swap" But of
course that didn't work
Where is a resource for how to use mac-fdisk?
