Great! I’ll test it this weekend.
Thank you.
Can you also somehow make it automatically mount the HFS partition at /boot/grub ? So I don’t have to breakout to a shell and do it manually?
Yes, of course. But that will be the next step after we have verified that the GRUB installation works as desired. I'm waiting with this change because it will make the Yaboot installation more difficult as that will mean that Yaboot users have to adjust the partitioning manually.
(That can wait, of course, til we get grub install to work at all…)
Exactly.
As you hinted, it can’t mount /boot/grub until after it has been formatted as HFS (currently by yaboot install) Is there a chicken/egg problem here? You can’t install grub without installing yaboot first, so it’s not possible to install without yaboot… So we can’t actually get rid of yaboot at all?
I'm not sure what makes you think that the mechanism to format HFS filesystems is inherently part of Yaboot but that's definitely not the case. Yaboot's installer script itself doesn't create the HFS filesystem, it relies on hfsutils for that which can be used independently of Yaboot, of course. Adrian -- .''`.
