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
