I was not using a bootstrap and it was working just fine. Now .. at some times the OF said something like ... can't open hd:,\\:tbxi
here is my yaboot.conf ... image=hd:,\\\\vmlinux label=vmlinux root=/dev/hda10 append="video=atyfb:mode:800x600-8" I will try http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc/mac-fdisk-basics.txt with the bootstrap partition ... How it looks your yaboot.conf for the multiboot ? ... Blessings ...
