Re: Partition and Boot loader for Squeeze on G4

Hi,

4 years ago, I installed Debian with a software RAID 1 on a G4 for an LDAP server. In the end, I did not use the G4 and it remained in a closet. I would again make use of this G4 server with a software RAID 1 and LVM, I use the Squeeze installer.

- Is it always to be given at the beginning of the hard drives the two partitions "Apple_partition_map" and "Apple_Bootstrap"?

The first partition of any drive must be the partition map so the software can find it. The Apple_Bootstrap partition must be the second partition in the map but, physically, it can be anywhere on the disk.


- Is that still uses Yaboot or Squeeze uses grub2 ?

PowerPCs always use yaboot.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.

Eliminate software piracy:  use only FLOSS.
