Hello all! |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm new to this world: PowerPC, RISC, 64 bits. |
| 4 |
So, it's a newbie doubt... |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I'm following this manual |

My question it's about the yaboot and the partitions type. |
| 9 |
/dev/sda1: PReP (8MB) |
| 10 |
/dev/sda2: swap (1GB) |
| 11 |
/dev/sda3: / (30GB) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Questions: |
| 14 |
1) What is an PReP partition? |
| 15 |
2) How should be my /etc/yaboot.conf like? |
| 16 |
Mine was like "Code Listing 6: yaboot.conf for PReP hardware" |
| 17 |
default = linux |
| 18 |
timeout = 100 |
| 19 |
image=/boot/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 |
| 20 |
label=linux |
| 21 |
read-only |
| 22 |
root = /dev/sda1 |
| 23 |
append="root=/dev/sda1" |
| 24 |
Is it correct? |
| 25 |
Guess not, beacuse after it boots up, crashe and restart. |
| 26 |
What am I doing wrong? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If you need more information, please ask. I don't know what to say more :) |
