Ok, Here is what we have.
Two IDE Hard Drives. HDA has all of the linux stuff on it, with root at hda11, scratch at hda12. Also on HDA are an HFS+ and an HFS partition, at hda9 and 10, respectively. On the HFS+ partition is a VERY minimal system folder.
HDB is just by itself, and it is my primary MacOS Drive.
On the root level of HFS+ (hda9), are:
yaboot
vmlinux
yaboot.conf
bootscript
The yaboot.conf file:
timeout = 150
default = linux
image = hd:9,\\\\vmlinux
label = linux
Now, with what I have so far, is anything configured correctly? I want to dual boot this machine, and I made the change to the bootscript per YDL's instructions. Where ever there is a hd:, [,] I am never sure whether or not I should put a number there, and if so, which number I should put.
Like, for now, lets do a linux machine. Pure and simple.
At OF, should I enter setenv boot-device hd:11,\\\\yaboot (9 or 11?) And does it matter which drive (hda vs. hdb) I am starting up from?
Whenever I enter something in OF, I basically get an error message. Be it "Can't open hd:,\\\\yaboot", or something else. I did install linux though, it is on the drive.
Thanks,
Adam
