You may remember that the debian end of things was looking OK and so the lack of a "\" key in Open Firmware was thought to be a symptom that may lead to the cause of the boot failure. Well I put a request for help with Open Firmware on the Apple discussion board but nothing of any use came bac

This will be done for you by the installer, if you go through those steps when you start up. Configure keyboard activate swap mount root partition mount usr partition configure network -- at this point it will recognize that you already have a base installation and will move you to Make System

Chris said:- OK, so you'll be able to boot the installer if you add a couple more files to your MacOS volume, namely root.bin and linux.bin from the CD. Then .do the "boot hd:7,yaboot" and that will get you back in the installer. Somehow, I guess your bootstrap partition doesn't get set up wit
