    i booted from a debian live-cd and installed everything, but when i get
    to the part where the yaboot bootloader is installed, i cannot get it to
    recognize the NewWorld boot partition i created. in the documentation,
    it says it needs an Apple_Bootstrap partition, but that can only be made
    with mac-fdisk. does anyone have any ideas regarding creating a working
    partition to install yaboot?
    thanks
    rodrigo
