Greetings Everybody ...
In the beginning ...
iBook Blueberry
3GB Hard Disk
{
1G - MacOS 8.6
64M - Swap
1GB - YellowDog
1GB - FreeSpace
}
160MB RAM
{
32MB from Factory upgraded to 160MB
thats why I had the original 64M swap partition
}
// dualboot using a bootscript from YellowDog
I change YDL to Debian 2.2r0 (potato) and everything
work fine, except that I had 1GB of free unused space.
Trying to fix this I increase the swap to 320M (first
mistake - no longer than 256M in case is really needed
!!), so I leave it to 128M and the rest ( almost 2GB )
to Debian. Since that everytime I reboot or start the
iBook it sends me to the Open Firmware and nothing
else, try mac-boot, setenv boot-device hd:8,\\:tbxi,
Zapping the PRAM, Reinstalling everything and
everytime sends me to the OF (this happends only when
I create the swap and root partitions because if I
left only MacOS it boots normally). Last night I
setenv boot-file hd:8,\\yaboot an booted normally to
the linux side but with no success with the dual boot
(I'm using bootinfo.txt too).
So ... I would like to ear some advices,
recomendations (flames too) on what is the best way
(or the least painfull ...) to fix this, to live with
a dual boot iBook.Sorry for the long email but I tried
to be very clear and specific.
Blessings All.
Carlos.
