I had always told it to forget about 2.0 compatibility, but I re-initialized an unused partition with 2.0 compatibility, and installed 2.2r3 on it, and it gave the same message when trying to boot it with the symlink: unknown image format error. Probably quik as Dan says. The symlink does work fine with yaboot (on the iMac). >> Here's the device tree for my 9500: > > yes ive seen this before. does ofpath work on this? correctly? This was ofpath v0.6: ofpath /dev/sdb7 returns /bandit/gc/53c94/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:7 , which seems right. For the internal drive, ofpath /dev/sda3 returns /bandit/gc/mesh/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3 . >> Here's the device tree and other info for the PowerBase: > > i think ofpath in ybin 1.1 should support this, can you check? On the PowerBase, ofpath 0.6 returns This machine is not supported: AAPL,e407MacRISC I downloaded 0.8 included in ybin 1.1, and voila! ofpath /dev/sdb7 returns /bandit/ohare/mesh/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:7 ofpath /dev/sda4 returns /bandit/ohare/mesh/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:4 (my other scsi disk is indeed at scsi address 2) ofpath /dev/hda4 returns /bandit/ohare/ATA/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:4 It all seems reasonable. -- Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
