First, what gives `devalias usb` on your machine?
no alias
Then, what happens if you boot with `boot usb:,\install\yaboot`? Prior
to that you can also check with `dir usb:,\` if you can actually list
the files on the USB device.
The correct command on my machine is
boot usb0/disk@1:,\install\yaboot
With that I can boot the 7.11 USB key I made (maybe it worked also before)
now however I perhaps need some magic to fix things. I am able to get
into the "ash" and mount my hard disk, so I have on /cdrom my local key
stuff and in /mnt my target. I an also mount the small HFS partition
which contains 3 files:
ofboot.b
yaboot
yaboot.conf
What could I do to transplant Yaboot ? Where does it live? I suppose
both a file in the linux partition as well as one in the small HFS
partition I have, right?
I thought that they USB key would also have two partition, mac-fdisk
lists sdb1 and sdb2, sdb1 being mounted, but I cannot mount sdb2 (HFS),
no device node exists for that
Any tricks off-heads for the frankenstein Yaboot I want to attempt?
