Excuse me if this is a FAQ: I'm trying to get yaboot running on my iMac with a German keyboard, but I encounter a fatal obstacle:
I understand that the setup involves to define the boot device in OF, which unfortunately means that one has to type in a line containing some backslashes. It turns out that a German keyboard does not send the necessary key codes to generate a backslash! I had notices this before with an older distribution of linuxppc - in debian potato and LinuxPPC2000 this now works fine w/o xmodmap. However, at the OF prompt (after booting with command option OF) I do not find a way to send the necessary back-slashes! (BTW, the "nvsetenv" command from the LinuxPPC distribution seems to be broken?) Who can help me with this one? Cheers, LatB
