I have progress of sorts in that it will now boot into OSX (without
having to hold Option on start-up) but I still need OF (Cmd+Opt+O+F)
to
boot Linux. So I haven't, as yet, seen the yaboot menu in action ;-)
Still the same error message when you don't hold the option key?
No it boots straight into OSX
But wait...
There was a recent revision of yaboot having something to do
with G4s ... the Windtunnel and XServe models. First, try
downloading the most recent yaboot from penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot
to see if that fixes the problem.
After frigging around with yaboot.conf for a while, I downloaded the
latest version of yaboot (1.3.8-rc4) and bingo! Works straight out of
the box! I even managed a black on green yaboot screen so I know it's
working - cool ;-)
Thanks Chris ;-) (and everyone else who pitched in)
My G4 is at least a couple of years old (Sawtooth?) AGP Gigabit - so it
seems that quite a few G4's may have the same problem. The testing
version of yaboot seems to be the answer.
