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

|

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 :) |
