before doing such hazardous things, whith a friend of mine we did this.
chroot on /target/
apt-get install yaboot
launch yabootconfig
says: unable to locate bootstrap partition on /dev/sda.....
I am sure the partition exists, whith the flag 0x41
the man says ...you must create a 800K partition; mine is 10 M because I did
not know how allocate.
Is this 800K mandatory ?
Friendly
Felipe.
