Just had a quick look at the code and yabootinstaller doesn't use yabootconfig so that is good. I think it would be possible to write a patch so that when ofpath returns nothing we use &device; and the correct partition and set nonvram. Thoughts? I may have a go at coming up with something. Ages since I've done any coding!
In post#1 you wrote "because I am installing to an external USB drive which does not have any AppleBootstrap partition". How were you intending booting if you didn't set up a boot partition? What were you going to call from openfirmware? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956481 Title: ppc: YabootInstaller doesn't handle USB drive installation so well To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yaboot-installer/+bug/956481/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
