Hello Fritz,
I had asked "how to create NewWorld bootblock (bootstrap) with different size than
is supported by OFI" to use for booting from it. So, what was your way how to create
partition which was called by you as NewWorld bootblock (bootstrap) with bigger size?
Correct way to create that kind of partition is below and there is no supported
way how to make it bigger than size of old floppy which was mounted in ancient
Apple systems.
# I had make sparse file attached as loop block device for example to show way
how to proceed manyally to create it with commands:
#root@iMac-Mini:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/fake-disk bs=1 count=0 seek=8G
#0+0 records in
#0+0 records out
#0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.00163524 s, 0.0 kB/s
#root@iMac-Mini:~# losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/fake-disk
root@iMac-Mini:~# mac-fdisk /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0
Command (? for help): i
size of 'device' is 16777216 blocks:
new size of 'device' is 16777216 blocks
Command (? for help): w
IMPORTANT: You are about to write a changed partition map to disk.
For any partition you changed the start or size of, writing out
the map causes all data on that partition to be LOST FOREVER.
Make sure you have a backup of any data on such partitions you
want to keep before answering 'yes' to the question below!

Predmet: Re: Lubuntu 14 && U-MATE 15 installer issues [PPC]
CC: "lubuntu user list"
@Peter:
Well, the problem was replicated over 4 attempts to use "manual" partition install . . .
2 with Lubuntu 14.04 installer and 2 with U-MATE 15.04 . . . I don't know how else to describe what
I did . . . 10 MB for New World Boot, 11GB or so for ext4, 1.6 GB for swap . . . . The installer
would then flag both New World and ext4 as "/" . . . attempts to change either one of
those options was not accepted by the installer -- it would show an error . . . .
Only when I ran it as automatic did it go through . . . this was from two versions of the desktop
image . . . a month ago I ran an install through the ubuntu 14.04 mini installer . . . using my
usual "manual" choices and that install was "OK" . . . only problem was picking
GNOME DE which was listed in the drop down menu . . . was too much for my system . . . defaulted to
XFCE . . . .
"Dumps"?? Seems like it, the dmesg list ending with "p link is down" is the last line that shows . . . system "freezes" after that.
At one point I read through 1000 lines via systemctl . . . something . . . and a number
of red lines showed up . . . and there was a ***Dependency*** problem listed . . . I'm
thinking it was around the ethernet, "network-manager" . . . I'm away from that
machine right now, but I've posted most of this data already . . . but it seemed to
indicate a dependency missing for network-manager . . . which is my present issue.

Hello Fritz,
Do you have any details how to replicate that error with yaboot install? You
had written about fail when you had made newworld boot partition with wrong
size. Could you been please more specific how to create that kind of partition
with that size? Of course, you had confirmed successful installation when you
had not made wrong boot partition.
And regarding kernel crash, did you have any dumps?
