No panic, indeed. I was just joking

I tried to install yaboot 1.1.34, and it succeeded, but I can't install same version of yaboot-installer, because of several unsatisfied dipendencies. Is that needed?

Anyway, I am trying to run ybin, as soon as I have sent this message...
Touch wood!

No way, but it was just a fast test.
It complains for proc filesystem non mounted, but I cannot mount procfilesys in my chroot-ed partition.
So I suppose I can do the following (if someone want to confirm it):
- boot with SID netinst CD
- mount the root partition of newly installed system on my ibook
- mount the /proc directory on the proc subdir of my system partition
- maybe I'll do the same with sys directory
- chroot to my system partition
- run ybin from there (yaboot package already downgraded)
- reboot all the system
