For some reason the filesystem you create with the installer gets mounted under /target, so what i did was mv the current /etc, /usr and /boot to something else (i just appended .old to them) and then slinked the ones in /target to /etc, /usr and /boot. Then edit the /etc/yaboot.conf file and run mkofboot -v -b <your_bootstrap_partition>. That did it for me. Hope it works for you. pH. --- "There will be no more paper towels after july."
