boot hd:14,yaboot
is the right syntax.
Thanks for the clarification.
This is on a Blue&White G3, 128MB RAM, 6GB drive.

Still, it seems odd to me that the "Get Info" on the "MacOS" drive shows
"Mac OS Extended" and the "MacShared" drive shows "Mac OS Standard", yet
pdisk shows both partitions as "Apple_HFS".
I think the other poster was right about Apple_HFS and HFS+. In any case,
it sounds like your setup should work now.
Thanks to Chris and Brad for pointing this out. So I reckon that means
there's no way to distinguish or create an HFS+ partition using pdisk?
Which debian-imac release are you using, the 2.2 or 3.0? Perhaps there's
been some corruption of the yaboot binary or something.
The installation instructions pointed me to a .sit archive at
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/debian-imac/debian-imac.sit; that
site doesn't say what release it is, and I'm not at the Mac at the
moment to read any ReadMe's, etc. The installation instructions also
point to
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/current/
to get the files individually, so I reckon it's the stable/potato
release. I'll know more Monday when I get back to the Mac.
When you dragged the 4 files, you put them on the disk icon for the Shared
partition, not on the desktop, right?
Yes. I dragged the whole debian-imac folder to the MacShared icon, then
opened the MacShared icon, opened the debian-imac folder, opened the
"copy these files to the root of hard disk" (or something similar)
folder, grabbed all four files, and copied them (not moved - I used
Alt-Click&Hold&Drab, or Command-, or whatever the proper key is that
does a copy instead of a move) to the open MacShared icon, which would
be equivalent (I believe) to dropping them onto the MacShared icon from
the desktop.
Thanks for the response, Chris & Brad!
Any more info that anyone can help with would be appreciated. Monday,
I'll try copying the files down manually from the alternative site
mentioned above and try with those.
Kent
