I just finished an install of gentoo on the second hard drive on my 800MHz |
| 2 |
Power Mac. |

When I ran yabootconfig, it ran without complaints. |

However, when I boot to the Open Firmware graphical screen and select the |
| 7 |
Gentoo disk for booting, I get a kernel panic because it says it cannot mount |
| 8 |
the root filesystem, which is /dev/hdb5. |

The device entry in yaboot.conf is "device=ultra1:" which is not what I |
| 11 |
expected. The docs I've found say that "hd:" would be the entry for hda, but |
| 12 |
I found nothing that indicates how to boot to the second hard drive... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I can still boot my liveCD and I may be able to fix the yaboot.conf on that |
| 15 |
harddrive ("yabootconfig --chroot /mnt/gentoo" worked before, but I don't |
| 16 |
think ybin has a chroot command. Perhaps there is just a "-f" command for me |
| 17 |
to point it to the right config file) from there and boot it. Once I know the |
| 18 |
fix... |

Anyone install on a second hard drive? |
