#ofpath /dev/sda /[EMAIL PROTECTED],f2000000/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: #ofpath /dev/sdb /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: So indeed it seems that ofpath has decided that both sata drives are "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" :| I manually edited the yaboot config file to have device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: and then I run the command chroot /target ybin --config /etc/yaboot.conf -b /dev/sdb2 Unfortunately this doesn't change anything.
