What is /debian/boot?
I boot in macos on /dev/hda8 , debian is in /dev/hda5 (/dev/hda6 = data
/dev/hda7 = swap )
Originaly mac dont't show any linux partition, so for the user, linux is
invisible.
After useing emile macos himself put a compete new directory in the
harddisk icon of the desktop, who is named debian , and has all
structure of the debian root partition; which is on /dev/hda5;
/debian/boot /debian/etc /debian/home a.s.o before I pic'ed the kernel
needed for penguin boot from a directory maked by me on mac partition.
now I choose the kernel needed for penguin boot directly from
/debian/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-mac
Ah , I completly forget that I copyed my self that directory from debian
partition to mac partition
, realy sorry for that - to tyred last night -
Oh, you mean "/debian" on the MacOS side, e.g.
harddisk:Desktop Folder:debian
I don't know where that folder came from.
that was me :( ,
which is showing on /dev/hda8, but which is on /dev/hda5.
This is the original disk (made by mac installer)
emile --scanbus
/dev/hda:

0: base: 128 size: 26 type: 1793 <3: Macintosh [Apple_Driver_ATA]>

/dev/hda7 : A/SWAP [Apple_UNIX_SVR2 ]
/dev/hda8 : untitled 4 [Apple_HFS ] <Apple bootblock> *
/dev/hda9 : Extra [Apple_Free ]
This is the disk after useing emile /dev/hda:
Drivers
0: base: 128 size: 26 type: ATA <3: Macintosh [Apple_Driver_ATA], SCSI HD
driver>
"[Apple_Driver_ATA], SCSI HD driver" doesn't make much sense.
sure, viewing that, I though that ATA disk is mapped like a SCSI disk ,
so it may be mannaged by emile .

Does emile normally list boot blocks?
yes, look at direct bootable _by emile_ disk :
# emile --scanbus
/dev/sda:
Drivers
0: base: 128 size: 32 type: SCSI <3: Macintosh [Apple_Driver43], SCSI HD
driver>
Partitions
1: Apple [Apple_partition_map]
2: Macintosh [Apple_Driver43 ] *
3: Macintosh [Apple_Driver43 ] *
4: Patch Partition [Apple_Patches ]
5: root [Apple_UNIX_SVR2 ]
6: swap [Apple_UNIX_SVR2 ]
--> 7: untitled 3 [Apple_HFS ] <EMILE bootblock> *
8: Extra [Apple_Free ]
So, it appears from emile --scanbus that the bootblock on hda was
clobbered. Does it still boot?
-f
No, that disk need to be reinstalled.
