Careful what 'facts' you spread around here. With the switch to Intel machines, Apple also changed their firmware and boot manager. If your mac is intel it uses EFI, not Open Firmware. Yaboot is not the answer. Also note that he already tested grub on the machine using ubuntu and claims that it does work with their version. Andreas, you may want to try to track down what differences there are between Ubuntu's grub and what LFS installs. Or, you could consider using Lilo instead. :) I use Lilo on my Intel macs (mostly because I build a 64-bit system) and it works great. Also, if you ever feel like dual (or triple booting) your mac with OS X check out http://refit.sourceforge.net. It's a really useful tool. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
