But at least it let me continue. 2. install yaboot failed, complaining there is no valid boot block. Poking around I found that it expects a 'hfs' formatted boot block. And after some investigation I found that the following would get it done (from vc/2): # chroot /target sh # mount -t proc proc /proc # mkofboot # umount /proc # exit after that, the bootblock is fine and the installer is happy. so am I :-) Great toy, this new debian installer!
