Ok, I'll try and make this as clear as possible. All the files I am working with have come from ftp.debian.org/debian/dist/potato/main/disks-powerpc.
Next, I've grabbed Yaboot 0.5 and I am booting it successfully. Initially I made two HFS partitions: Partition1 4gb for MacOS; Partition2 8GB for all the Linux partitions. I put yaboot, vmlinux, ramdisk.image and yaboot config at the root level, as well as made a folder called "instimage/dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc" with all the contents from the ftp site there. So, I boot yaboot, boot debian install, switch virtual consoles, run mac-fdisk, create 800K bootstrap partitions for ybin, create swap partition and create on big ext2 partition. I reboot again for good measures, go back into yaboot, debian install, and proceed. Everything works up to the point of installing the base system. I format swap, root and mount root and then mount the HFS partition no problem. However, I am booted back to the install menu and get a message on virtual console 3 that says something like: Found rescue.bin but kernel image was not in default location. I am wondering if I am either missing someting obvious or if I am not familiar with how the files should be layed out on the HFS partitions, or if I am just missing a file somewhere. If anyone has any clue, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, and otherwise, back to the grind stone. -todd
