yaboot is the linux ppc bootloader, more akin to lilo than grub though. |
| 8 |
It requires a special bootloader partition, that is 800k (you don't get any |
| 9 |
option on size, it's 800k), and it must go *before* the OSX partition |
| 10 |
(luckily, OSX doesn't care if it's partition number changes, so you can move |
| 11 |
it around). |
| 12 |
I was able to resize, and move my OSX partition. I think I used mac-fdisk to |
| 13 |
resize, and parted to move. |

You can do the rest of the install without harming OSX in anyway obviously, |
| 16 |
just not boot it :) |
