You've created msdos style partitions so we don't hit mac-parts hence
the \\:tbxi magic won't be used - you have a few options - boot off what
is there:
setenv boot-device hd:1,\ofboot.b
Or boot installer to rescue mode and create a blank mac partition table
parted /dev/hda mklabel mac
This worked (parted /dev/hda mklabel, then specify "mac" for the
label)! So, is there a recommended procedure for dealing with the
original partition problem, or does it just require using the command
line utilities for the moment?
Hugh
then reinstall.
You could also convert the partition table from msdos->mac - but the
other suggestions are probably easier.
