4 Hi,
5 I have some weird problems with the boot system of my new powerbook 12".
6 The first problem is that i can't start the macosx system. I suppose is a
7 problem with my yaboot.conf.
8 My mac-fdisk info is:
9
10 /dev/hda1 Apple_partition_map
11 /dev/hda2 Apple_Bootstrap -> The yaboot bootstrap
12 /dev/hda3 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 -> Swap
13 /dev/hda4 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 -> root partition for gentoo
14 /dev/hda5 Apple_HFS -> MacOSX
15 /dev/hda6 Apple_Free -> ¿Why?
16 /dev/hda7 Apple_HFS -> Another Mac partition
17 /dev/hda8 Apple_Free
18
19 My yaboot.conf is:
20
21 boot=/dev/hda2
22 device=hd:
23 partition=4
24 delay=10
25 timeout=15
26 install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
27 magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
28 image=/boot/vmlinux
29 label=Linux
30 root=/dev/hda4
31 read-only
32 macosx=/dev/hda5
33
34 Well, my second problem is with the partitions. When i boot the system with
35 the gentoo livecd, the hd is name hda, and the cdrom hdb. But when i boot
36 with the normal system, the hd is hdc, and the cdrom hda. ¿Someone can help
37 me with this?
38 Another question (sorry ^_^), with the livecd I use the 8390 module for the
39 NIC, but I can find this option in my kernel (2.4.24-ppc-r2). ¿What module I
40 have to use with a new powerbook 12" network adapter? ¿some patch?
41
42 Thanks.
43 Bye
