Hi,
i have just installed YellowDog2.0 and osX on my ibook2, but i am having
problems dual booting them
osX is on hda11
linux on hda14
and i have a boot partition hda12
i have added the macosx=/dev/hda11
the yaboot prompt has the option (x=macosx or something to that effect) but
when i select x the screen flashes and drops back to the yaboot screen
i read that booting into OF and "setenv boot-device hd:11,ofboot.b"
"reset-all" so i did this
it reboots brings up the yaboot screen i choose x again this time it seems
to try to load something but then just hangs on that initial grey
screen?????
i noticed that /dev/hda9 is described as osx_of3_booter is this what i need
to point (OF)boot-device at ? or should (yaboot.conf)macosx= be pointing to
it ?
also if i install osX first then YellowDog, during the install while
installing the boot loader it dosnt give me the option to install it into
the boot partition i created and only gives me the option to install it into
/dev/hda9(osx_of3_booter)????
hopefully someone can help me out
cheers
