Stew, Thanx for the quick response. My situation I guess is that I don't want to repartition (again). My current partitioning looks like so: 'boot' : 100MB HFS, contains yaboot System Folder 'untitled' : 4GB or so, contains YDL 1.2 'Macintosh HD' : 5GB or so, contains OS 9.1 It seems as though I cannot simply remove 'boot' and 'untitled' to let Mandrake do with as it pleases, w/o erasing 'Macintosh HD' as well :( This is what I'd like to avoid! -Brice Stew Benedict wrote: >You can boot the 1st ISO from Open Firmware: > >boot cd:2,\\:tbxi > >or > >boot cd:2,\\yaboot > >The technique used in testboot4 will be applied in the next Beta. > >I know it seems a hassle to insist on that bootstrap, but if it's not >there, the whole thing falls apart - you'll have a nicely installed system >and no way to boot it.
