If you're in the chroot, you need to mount /proc so it can find the nvram chroot /target mount -t proc proc /proc ybin -v Sorry I forgot about that earlier. > > And then pretty much the same error messages for /dev/hde14 and /dev/hde14. > > > So I then editted /target/etc/yaboot.conf and added the line: > ofboot=cd:6 that shouldn't be cd:6, in your case I would try ide0:6. What does the rest of your yaboot.conf look like? But first just try mounting /proc. -- *------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".
