Hello again! First of all thank's to Ethan Benson for the reply and help.
Basically, I want to erase macos from my box (as complete as possible :-/ ) and install on each of my disks one seperate debian. > > > > printenv boot-device gives: > > ultra1:9,\\yaboot hd:,\\:tbxi > > this is wrong. you will not be able to interact with yaboot's > interface since you need to load the first stage bootstrap installed > by ybin. > > please let ybin take care of boot-device, it will do it correctly. If ybin does this, will it be the right way that I have one bootstrap, lets say on ultra1 and a yaboot which allows booting either woody on ultra1 or potato on ultra0? If so, could you explain please how to write that to yaboot.conf. The other way, I could imagine is to work with two bootstraps as at the moment. If I go that way, how can I tell ybin from one booted HD about the yaboot.conf of the other debian. More realistic I would assume ybin to do it's job on each of my instllations separatly. I did this and OF hangs. On ultra0 which is representated in the printenv .... as hd:,\\:tbxi it should be something like ultra0:9,\\yaboot instead but I can't cope with this :-/. The third idea I have would be to do ybin from the potato-CD1 :-/ . > only if the bootstrap appears after macos partitions. That's not the case ... I put my parition-tables in addendum.
