Hello,
I made some modifications to boot-floppies, and I wanted to reboot to
test them. So I copied the rootpmac.bin to /boot, and reran ybin (for
no particular reason), and now I can't boot my system with the
aliases.
I get:
boot: linux
Please wait, loading kernel...
MAC-PARTS: specified partition is not valid
Image not found.... try again
However, typing "hd:3,/vmlinux" works ok. Anyone have any ideas?
I've attached my yaboot.conf and the output of mac-fdisk -l /dev/hda.
## Example yaboot.conf for ybin and yaboot >= 0.6
## see man yaboot.conf for more details.
## Change to your bootstrap partition ie: /dev/hda2
boot=/dev/hda2
device=hd:
partition=3
delay=10
timeout=20
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
## Comment out if you have a newworld compatible nvsetenv (ybin can
## likely detect the incompatible version) when commented out ybin
## will update the boot-device variable in OpenFirmware to the
## bootstrap partition.
