Most likely, yaboot's installer couldn't correctly determine the OpenFirmware path to the bootstrap partition. Boot back into the installer, open a shell, and check nvsetenv Compare the boot-device setting to what you get from cat /proc/device-tree/aliases/hd or maybe cat /proc/device-tree/aliases/ide0 For example, I set my boot-device using nvsetenv boot-device hd:2,\\:tbxi This tells OpenFirmware to look on the second partition of the main hard disk for a blessed startup file. -- http://Www.TruthAboutWar.org Chris Tillman - Linux Rox -
