I did not. Is this required with yaboot? If it is it's my mistake |
| 21 |
totally. It's not required with grub which is what I'm used to using |
| 22 |
on x86 machines. |
| 23 |
|

I can see that running ybin -v has an impact on the bootstrap partition: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
MacMini etc # ybin -v |

ybin: Finding OpenFirmware device path to `/dev/hda2'... |

ybin: Installing first stage bootstrap /usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot onto /dev/hda2... |

ybin: Installing primary bootstrap /usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot onto /dev/hda2... |
| 30 |

I cannot reboot and try it right now as the machine is doing some |
| 39 |
work. I'll try it later today and let you know how it goes. I suspect |
| 40 |
this might fix it. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Once I get this done then I'll strip out a bunch of the leftover stuff |
| 43 |
from the kernel config and try to slim stuff down a bit. |
| 44 |

Thanks for all your help! |
