I fall in error, that message corresponds with the command "boot hd:3", while
"boot hd:3,yaboot" gives:

can't OPEN: hd:3,yaboot

Surprisingly if i type "boot yaboot,hd:3" starts something that i dont have time
to read but stops in a screen with a denial symbol in the middle, a circle with
a diagonal bar, like in some street's signs!

Maybe some other info will catch your attention or will clinch the matter:-)

If it is a problem with ATA100, it should presents itself at the debian
installer step, right? Chmod -R 777 /Volumes/Debian doesn't worth.

Thanks!
