Re: [iBook 300Mhz] ybin: undocumented error ?
Hi Ennio,
here my tabel from mac-fdisk, the relevant parts:
/dev/hda9 Apple_Free Extra 1954 @ 1544 (977.0k) Free space
/dev/hda10 Apple_HFS Ohne Titel 2 1942918 @ 13808653 (948.7M) HFS
/dev/hda11 Apple_HFS Ohne Titel 3 5624908 @ 15751571 ( 2.7G) HFS
/dev/hda12 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 public 56763681 @ 21376479 ( 27.1G) Linux native
/dev/hda13 Apple_Bootstrap untitled 1954 @ 3498 (977.0k) NewWorld
bootblock
/dev/hda14 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled 13103516 @ 5452 ( 6.2G) Linux native
/dev/hda15 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 699685 @ 13108968 (341.6M) Linux swap
As you can see there is an old Bootstrap in hda9
and then in hda10/hda11 macos9.1/macosx10.0.4
and AFTER that comes linux
hda12 /home/public access for all users
hda13 the bootstrap (yaboot...)
hda14 / (root)
hda15 swap
I remember something that mac9 can only access up to 15 Partition. Not shure
about that...
Maybe you can re-number the partitions (read man mac-fdisk or man parted)
