Only /target/usr/lib/ exists. So I decided first to remove it from > comand line. So I wrote it should exist... but in any event -m /usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot is fine, and should work. perhaps you don't have your root filesystem mounted on /target this time around? > mkofboot --boot /dev/hdb2 --root /dev/hdb13 this will not render a bootable system. > Result : No such file or directory this is strange... > Create hfs file system on /dev/hdb2 [y/n] > > I answered yes to the question and mkofboot quits.
