I'm sorry. The distribution I am installing is the latest (potato?), and the problem I am having with getting it to boot is that I didn't create an 800K 'Apple_Bootstrap' partition. The documentation I read says to create it before the first Mac OS partition. This is for Yaboot. Is there an alternative that the documentation does not describe? Is there another way?
