I've got to the second last step in the installation procedure on my Lombard and got stuck, i.e. at step 8.1. ``Make System Bootable''. The installer reports that quik is being set up, and I want to use yaboot. Everything else has gone very well (installing initially using the debian-imac.sit package and from there from NFS from one of my servers). I'm aiming to install woody, but note that there is no 'base' install file for woody; the installer grabs that from potato.
I have setup an apple_boostrap partition as set out in Ethan's fdisk faq, just below all the apple driver stuff. Its OF address is hd:7. I've tried going into the installer shell (ash) and running ybin manually. But, with reference to <http://master.penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot/doc/yaboot-faq.shtml>, I realise that I should probably be running yabootconfig after editing /etc/yaboot.conf - or is it the other way around? The yaboot-faq confuses me a little here. Also, should my device line in yaboot.conf point to my "/" partition (In my case the partition after the boot partition)? Should the image partition below be 8? default=Linux boot=/dev/hda7 device=hd:8: delay=100 timeout=10 install=/usr/local/lib/yaboot/yaboot magicboot=/usr/local/lib/yaboot/ofboot image=/vmlinux label=Linux root=/dev/hda3 read-only partition=3 macos=hd:10 -- mkofboot -v Thanks for any help. Sorry if this all isn't very precise - I'm in a rush, and away from the office where I have to do the install! Rory
