I don't think so... It has to be somewhere it can be executed...
But in order to do a good job it need to have an apple bootstrap
partition. Here is my partition table on my dual G4 mac :
/dev/hda
does yabootconfig have to reside on sda1?

Ok, I edited yaboot.conf.
could you help me with open firmware? At one point open firmware was
going to a linux 1st stage, but now I just get the mac question mark.
my boot-device and boot-command are:

sorry : in the yaboot.conf file
boot=/dev/sda3
device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATTO,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/@0:

becomes :

Hi Eric,
I just remembered something about the device field in yaboot.conf file.
Can you send the result of your last yabootconfig please ?
Before a yabootconfig can you do some tests : what is the result of the
ofpath command ?
