That last line seems a bit strange. For one, I would have thought that
it would have pointed to yaboot on the boot partition rather than tbxi
which (I thought) was a mac boot command file/name. So I look back at
your yaboot.conf (from your lead-in message), and a few things are
strange, for one
boot=/dev/sdb2
device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED],f2000000/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
partition=3
root=/dev/sdb3
timeout=100
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
ofboot=/[EMAIL PROTECTED],f2000000/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2
enablecdboot
enableofboot
macosx=/dev/sda9

You should not need to specify "ofboot" since "ofpath" is used to locate
the boot location, i.e. you give it on the first line. It may be the
reason for the tbxi stuff. So try it first without. Second, try to avoid
the long OF device tree path names if you can, rather use an OF alias;
the more characters you type, the better chance there is to get
something wrong. Also, you're going to get tired of all of those
characters at some point. To find out the aliases, use the OF command
"devalias", e.g. enter that command at the OF prompt. You can even use
the alias as a prefix of the path if necessary. Also notice (from the
debug trace above) that ybin can discover the correct OF path via
different naming schemes. And third, note the difference from these two
lines which use the long OF path, but should still point to the same device:
// line 6 from 1st refquote
> GNU l /ht@ 0.f2000000/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2
// line 11 from 1st refquote
> ybin: DEBUG:
boot-device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2,
Line 6 is the yaboot command that occurs on your boot partition
(/dev/sdb2) while line 11 is from your ofboot command (in your
yaboot.conf) which "should" point to the same place, i.e. /dev/sdb2. I
see an extra space in the first instance (and I'm not sure where that
came from...or if it matters...but it makes me suspicious...like what
I'm seeing in the post may not be exactly what is in your
yaboot.conf...check your "device" entry again just to be sure...maybe
you added it while cutting and pasting for your message to the
list...who knows).
Anyway, that's it for now. See if any of the above helps.
