I think that could be the problem. You mean yaboot is within /install/powermac, right? Not just inside /install? I think that would definitely be a problem. When I wanted to change systems in MacOS, I always used to de-bless a System Folder by moving its System inside Startup Items (the second level). If the system-type item isn't immediately within the top-level folder, the folder gets unblessed. I'm changing cvs.debian.org/powerpc-specials/mini-iso.sh to put yaboot and the kernel into the /install folder rather than right at the root level. Should be fixed up in half an hour or so. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
