debian-boot's a better place for these bug reports, by the way. Did you create the boot partition beforehand, or in the installer? Can I see a complete dump of what parted and/or mac-fdisk thinks of the contents of the partition table? The netinst from the 13th probably predates Anton's cleanups to partman-newworld, though, so I'd suggest trying a newer daily build too. > I continued on without incident until I got to the > install yaboot step.

Impressive; you should only get that if the actual write to /target/etc/yaboot.conf fails, perhaps due to it not being mounted properly or being out of space. > Dropping into the shell again, 'yabootconfig --chroot > /target' returned the error message '/dev/sda4 no such > file or directory' That's probably just confusion between devfs in the installer ramdisk and traditional /dev in the target. Since yaboot has already been installed in the target by that stage, 'chroot /target yabootconfig' should work. > My guess is that the problem is that the drive is > mounted as /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc > instead of /dev/sda and that this is due to not > finding the ide-scsi module. Can someone confirm or > deny this? I doubt that. /dev/scsi/... seems correct for devfs in the installer ramdisk. Is there anything illuminating in the logs on tty3 (/var/log/messages) or tty4 (/var/log/syslog)? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
