Hi all!

Yesterday I installed the new OSX "Panther" on my ibook. Now I 
cannot
boot Linux.

My boot partition is on /dev/hda11, swap on 12 and my system on 13.
I tried the rescue-system with
"mount /dev/hda11 /mnt" --> dont work, because must specifie the
partition type
then
"mount /dev/hda13 /mnt" and
"chroot /mnt"
"ybin -v"
..........
After reboot no bootmanager again.
Any ideas?

I'm surprised ybin didn't complain about no /proc mounted.  Normally
you
need to mount /proc in the chroot also.   You wouldn't normally want 
to
mount the bootstrap, if that's what you're referring to on hda11.

Today I tried "mkofboot", no errors but no bootmanager too. After
reboot always OSX is starting....
What had I best do? New installation?
No.
It seems ybin didn't write to the OF the right command for the boot, so
do it yourself:
Jump to Open Firmware by pressing COMMAND-OPTION-O-F (apple key + alt
key and the O and F key depressed) and reboot.
This will bring you the Open Firmware 'shell', then enter the following
command:
 printenv

locate the boot-device entry then enter the following command (from
memory, basically the last part should be the same as what is shown by
the printenv except that the partition number is added (aka 11 in your
case)):
 setenv boot-device hd:11,:\\tbxi

Then reboot by entering the mac-shutdown command (or something like
that)...

Won´t work!

After reboot now there is a little folder-icon with an question mark on 
it, than the mac-icon, and than the "apple" in the middle of the screen 
for booting OSX.....

I have done the same procedure (installing new system) before, but i 
forgot how it functioned ;-(
