Hi all,

I've just get an iMac DvD. I've burned the CD from the debian site
(ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian-cd/potato_test-cycle-2/powerpc/potato-1.raw)
and booted it on my iMac. After a fw step, I have all installed except the
yaboot part.

When I get a shell in debian installation and do :
#ybin -b /dev/hda9 --timeout 100 --label linux --root /dev/hda11
      --partition 11 -v --debug
I have the following error message :
hcopy: "/boot/yaboot:" read-only file system
ybin: an error occured while copying files to /dev/hda9

The debug option gives me this :
device=hd:
timeout=100

image=/vmlinux
        label=linux
        partition=11
        root=/dev/hda11
        read-only

Here is my partition table (pmac-fdisk outpout, lenght, base & info
skipped) :
#   Type                Name            system
1  Apple_partition_map  Apple           Partition map
2  Apple_Driver43       Machintosh      Driver 4.3
3  Apple_Driver43       Machintosh      Driver 4.3
4  Apple_Driver_ATA     Machintosh      unknown
5  Apple_Driver_ATA     Machintosh      unknown
6  Apple_FWDriver       Machintosh      unknown
7  Apple_Driver_IOKit   Machintosh      unknown
8  Apple_Patches        Patch Partition unknown
9  Apple_Bootstrap      bootstrap       unknown
10 Apple_UNIX_SVR2      Swap            Linux swap
11 Apple_UNIX_SVR2      system          Linux native
12 Apple_UNIX_SVR2      home            Linux native
13 Apple_HFS            sans titre 2    HFS
14 Aple_Free            Extra           Free Space

What I have done wrong ?

Thanks in advance for any help, xavier
