Hi Additionaly to the problems I just reporte via the BTS there is another problem in yaboot-installer. It calls yabootconfig and ybin which in turn needs several executables for correct operation. Namely these files are needed in the installer root: from yaboot: /usr/sbin/ofpath, /usr/sbin/mkofboot, /usr/lib/yaboot from hfsutils: /usr/bin/hmount, /usr/bin/humount, /usr/bin/hcopy, /usr/bin/hattrib, /usr/bin/hformat from debianutils: /bin/mktemp from powerpc-utils: /sbin/nvsetenv
I see 3 possible solutions: 1. In yaboot-installer's postinst make symlinks to these files from the installer disk to the files in /target (they are all there). Rather hackish solution, but it works, I tested it. 2. call yabootconfig and ybin in a chroot environment. to make this work we need to also mount /proc inside the chroot (needed by yabootconfig and ybin). 3. make udebs for yaboot, hfsutils, debianutils and powerpc-utils and make yaboot-installer depend on them. It's probably the cleanest solution, but it seems rather overkill to create 4 additional udebs and to bother all these maintainers for one little installation step only. What do you think about these solutions? gaudenz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
