I was trying to upgrade kernel and Debian SID on my friend's TiBook 667
when I faced a problem with yaboot 1.3.12. When trying to run "ybin" it
returned the following message:
ybin: Unable to find OpenFirmware path for boot=/dev/hda9
ybin: Please add ofboot=<path> where <path> is the OpenFirmware path
to /dev/hda9 to /etc/yaboot.conf
Here's the /etc/yaboot.conf
## yaboot.conf generated by yabootconfig 1.0.5
##
## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make changes until you
have!!
## see also: /usr/share/doc/yaboot/examples for example configurations.
##
## For a dual-boot menu, add one or more of:
## bsd=/dev/hdaX, macos=/dev/hdaY, macosx=/dev/hdaZ
boot=/dev/hda9
device=hd:
partition=11
root=/dev/hda11
timeout=50
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
default=Linux
image=/vmlinux-2.6.6
label=Linux
read-only
image=/vmlinux-2.6.2
label=Linux.old
read-only
macosx=/dev/hda12
I am running yaboot 1.3.12 on my iBook G3/800 12" without any problem.
