The installer uses ofpath to translate from device nodes to open firmware paths. Pedro: Can you run the following commands in Linux: ofpath /dev/sda ofpath /dev/sdb My guess is that ofpath does not output the correct path for your second harddisk. You can see the whole open firmware device-tree in /proc/device-tree or by entering open firmware and issuing dev / ls If my guess is correct and ofpath does not give you the correct device path then please file a bug on the yaboot package, which contains ofpath. BTW, you can directly load the second-stage yaboot from open firmware with something like this: boot openFirmwarePath:partition,\yaboot If you are new to OpenFirmware you will find some usefull information on http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.powerpc/ch05s01.html (look into the usb booting section) Gaudenz
