i have just found out that debian calls the x86 fdisk ddisk on powerpc, i have fixed yabootconfig to use ddisk (still falls back to fdisk for other distros) for non-mac labels. that won't fix it if you have AIX labels. but it may fix it for dos labels on debian. http://penguinppc.org/files/users/eb -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
