I suppose both a file in the linux partition as well as one in the small HFS partition I have, right?I thought that they USB key would also have two partition, mac-fdisk lists sdb1 and sdb2, sdb1 being mounted, but I cannot mount sdb2 (HFS), no device node exists for thatAny tricks off-heads for the frankenstein Yaboot I want to attempt?
If all else fails, you can still mount the original ISO on another machine and copy the included `yaboot` (from `/install`) to a convenient place. From there you can transfer it into the rescue system or directly to the HFS partition with e.g.:
On receiver: ``` nc -l -p 9000 > yaboot ``` On sender: ``` nc receiver 9000 < yaboot ```Afterwards maybe check a hash (e.g. SHA256) of the file on both sender and receiver to be sure it was transferred intact. When chrooted to the actual installation, you should have hfsutils around (`/proc` and `/sys` might need to be mounted). First - if it is mounted - unmount the HFS partition with `umount`, then (pseudo)mount it again with `hmount`, then use `hattrib -t tbxi -c UNIX yaboot`. Afterwards, `humount` the HFS partition and try a reboot with the older yaboot from disk.
