Hello, I already succeed to install a debian netinst on my pc. Recently I get an old power mac G4 with mac os 9 ... so I try to install a debian netinst from a bootable cd on it. But it failed during installation of yaboot.
I not familiar with mac and their partition system ... perhpas the problem is here. Here is what I do during the installation: 1. Partition Disks : I choose "erase entire disk : IDE3 master (hdc) - 20.6 GB IBM-DTLA-305020" 2. Partitioning scheme: All files in one partition 3. here the partition table IDE3 master (hdc) - 20.6 GB IBM-DTLA-305020 #1 32.3 KB Apple #2 1.0 MB boot untitled #3 19.7 GB ext3 untitled / #4 873.7 MB swap swap swap I try to delete the first one (apple) and not ... so I did not delete it. 4. I choose yes to write change do disk 5. the base system is copied and installed 6. "Install yaboot on a hard disk" ... at this time I've got an error message "The yaboot package failed to install into /target/." The choices are "go back" "continue anyway" or "no" So alt+f4 to see the console yaboot-installer : info: Calling 'apt-install yaboot hfsutils' failed So I continue to try (even if I know it will failed) 7. Failed to install boot loader .... alt+f4 one more time here is the log since the last one yaboot-installer: info: partman-supplied bootstrap partitions: /dev/hdc2 yaboot-installer: info: partman-supplied default bootstrap partition: /dev/hdc2 ... some other log ... yaboot-installer: mkofboot: hfsutils is not installed or cannot be found yaboot-installer: mkofboot: Try --mount if Linux 2.6.12-1-powerpc support HFS yaboot-installer: error: mkofboot failed with exit status 1 SO I understand I need hfsutils but where can I found it will I am installing the debian from a bootable cd ? someone can help me ... perhaps the answer is simple but I am lost. nicolas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
