ok, what ofboot.b are you using? if you just grabbed the one out of a 0.20somthing ybin that won't work. why are you not using the one in /target/etc/ofboot.b ? > Then I'm asked, whether I want my Bootstrap-partion to be formatted HFS. > When I say "N", the process is aborted.When I say "y", something works, this is normal, it is to make sure you understand this destroys everything on chosen bootstrap partition, which is a bit different then other bootloaders. > but after reboot (with the option key pressed) I arrive in MacOS. > My partiton Table is: the option key should enter the OF button chooser... maybe your model does not support that. > .. > .. > .. > /dev/hda9 Apple_Bootstrap > /dev/hda10 Apple_Unix... / > /dev/hda11 Swap swap > /dev/hda13 Apple_HFS my Mac-partition mounted on /mnt/mac1 > /dev/hda14 Apple_Unix... /home > /dev/hda15 Apple_Hfs tiny Mac-partition > /dev/hda16 Apple_Free > Thanks for help > Gerhard ok this looks ok, (except hda15 should be Apple_HFS not Apple_Hfs, but i assume that is just a typo) i think there is something wrong with the ofboot.b you are using, perhaps its the newer version that is incompatible with older ybin. the /target/etc/ofboot.b should work fine on your machine (you may have to fix the <COMPATIBLE> not sure..) also, did you try resetting OpenFirmware? its possible that your boot-device variable is set to your macos partition, if you reset OF it will use the first bootable device which would be the bootstrap partition: try this, shut down, and cold boot while holding down command option p r until it reboots itself 3 times, then see if it boots the bootstrap partition instead. (this won't be an issue in potato r1, which has a ybin capable of fixing OF for you) -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
