RE: I lost yaboot!



I boot with my installation cd and when I when reached the partitioning
stage I went to console 2 and tried to mount my root partition. However it
seems that I am not doing something right. I created a dir and tried to
mount the /dev/hda2 partition (which is my root) but it says falied!

Help!

Boot into the box with d-i, when it reaches the partitioning stage, go to
console 2, mount your root partition, chroot into it, mount /proc and /sys,
check your yaboot.conf and rerun ybin.

This should mostly do it, but YMMV.
