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?

Should I have partitioned my SCSI drive first with OS X to get an
apple_bootstrap partition?
And then do an installation, or use my Etch cd install to create the

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:
boot-device /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATTO,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/@0:3,\\:tbxi
boot-command
sorry : in the yaboot.conf file
boot=/dev/sda3
device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATTO,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/@0:
partition=4
root=/dev/sda4
timeout=30
...
becomes :
boot=/dev/sda3
device=hd:
partition=4
root=/dev/sda4
timeout=30
...
I had to do this on my old dual G5...

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 ?

Hi xavier, I think I want to check if my open firmware is correct
first. I was able to run yabootconfig following your directions. I
guess I just need to know whether or not I can rule out that it is a mis
configuration of open firmware or yaboot, before I start messing around,
can you help?

I have a Apple G4 server model M5183. I've install Etch without a

then the monitor turns black.
