Did you only modify the yaboot package or did you modify yaboot-installer as well? I did not follow very closely how you built your test images, but testing a new bootloader package inside d-i is a bit tricky. AFAIK you have the following options (others on d-b may correct me if there is an other option): - create a local (partial) mirror wich contains your modified package and install from there. This is quite some work to set up, but the most flexible. - change to a shell in the installer after the package is installed from d-i, copy the new package into the installer environment, chroot /target, and then dpkg -i the new package. This has to be done before yaboot-installer runs. This is easier but less elegant than the first solution. If you just want to test a new yaboot-installer udeb you can add the udeb to localudebs and build your own d-i image. See installer/build/README in the d-i source repository on svn.debian.org for more information. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. ~ Samuel Beckett ~
