The partition scheme doesn't seem to be the problem, moreso with
loading the modules.
I'm not sure this is the easiest way to check it, but try this:
- Boot install disk, at yaboot prompt type:
install mediacheck
- A bunch of white text on black background should scroll as the
kernel loads. Then the screen should turn blue, with a little
ASCI message box saying something like "Loading OCHI modules" or
similar. Then a prompt will appear to test your CD's.
- Forget the prompt, instead press CTRL+ALT+F3 (might be F4, not
at my test machine to verify).
- Look for a Line or lines saying something like "OCHI controller XXX
found" or "1394 controller unknown" or anything else related to those
two controllers being probed.
I'm pretty interested in the output. That'll hold the information
needed to see whats wrong.

It is the original 40gig hd from my TiPowerBook Samsung I think. It is the
only drive in the chain and I had been looking for the OHCI and 1394 drivers
but didn't know that they would be indicated with blue background, so no I
have not seen them load.
