I mistakenly reformatted a drive containing my boot partition. Now I'm trying to gain it back so I can use yaboot (right now its defaulting to OSX).
So far I've redownloaded: root.bin, linux.bin, yaboot and yaboot.conf and placed them on a HFS partition. Then I was using pdisk to find the partition number and it was spitting back: Top level command (? for help): L /dev/rdisk0 map block size=512 #: type name length base ( size ) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_HFS linuxboot 209712 @ 64 (102.4M) 3: Apple_HFS Charles 59826696 @ 209776 ( 28.5G) 4: Apple_Free 0+@ 60036472 Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=60036480 DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 /dev/rdisk1 map block size=512 #: type name length base ( size ) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_UFS Tiger 120103128 @ 64 ( 57.3G) Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=120103200 DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 /dev/rdisk2 map block size=512 #: type name length base ( size ) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_Driver_OpenFirmware Macintosh 1024 @ 64 Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=66835440 DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 /dev/rdisk3 map block size=512 #: type name length base ( size ) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_HFS moose 120060792 @ 64 ( 57.2G) 3: Apple_Free 0+@ 120060856 Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=120060864 DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 /dev/rdisk4 map block size=512 #: type name length base ( size ) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_Driver43*Macintosh 54 @ 64 3: Apple_Driver43*Macintosh 74 @ 118 4: Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh 512 @ 192 5: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 704 6: Apple_HFS snailbrain 4192189 @ 1216 ( 2.0G) 7: Apple_Free 0+@ 4193405 Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=4193415 DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 Drivers- 1: @ 64 for 23, type=0x1 2: @ 118 for 36, type=0xffff and linuxboot(dev/rdisk0) is the one I want when I get into the firmware boot, a. how do I get there? b. what commands do I use to regain yaboot? sorry this is a little long, I just figures it best to be as verbose as I could. r.j.c.//[EMAIL PROTECTED]
