Hi,
when I burn the 'boot.iso' file found in the 'images' direcory of
Fedora 6's ppc DVD-image (FC-6-ppc-DVD.iso) to a CD, I can
successfully boot from it with my iBook G4 (ppc-32). I have been
trying to re-create a bootable image from it:
# mkdir boot; mount -o loop boot.iso boot
# rm -rf boot-new; cp -rp boot boot-new
# find boot-new -name TRANS.TBL -exec rm -f {} \;
# volume_id="PBOOT"; system_id="PPC"; volume_set_id="6";
application_id="Fedora Core 6"; hfs_volume_id=$volume_set_id
# mkisofs -V "$volume_id" -sysid "$system_id" -A
"$application_id" -volset "$volume_set_id" \
-untranslated-filenames -joliet -rational-rock -translation-table \
-hfs -hfs-bless ppc -prep-boot ppc/chrp/yaboot -chrp-boot -part -hfs-volid
"$hfs_volume_id" -no-desktop \
-quiet -o boot-new.iso boot-new
Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660.
CHRP boot partition 1
PReP boot partition 2 is "ppc/chrp/yaboot"
# ls -l *.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43642880 Oct 17 20:21 boot.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43642880 Mar 30 00:35 boot-new.iso
As showed above, the new .iso has exactly the same size as the
original one. However, when I burn that onto CD and try to boot from
it -> no success. What am I missing?
thanks,
rob.

You need to bless the ppc/mac directory, don't you? Not
'ppc'.
Run 'dir cd:,\\' to get a listing of the blessed directory.
There should
be an 'ofboot.b' there and it should have type TBXI.
thanks David for your help. Running mkisofs with '-hfs-bless ppc/mac'
instead of '-hfs-bless ppc' did also not make the resulting .iso
bootable, unfortunately. Where can I run
dir cd:,\\
? Within the Open Firmware console, it does not seem to work. When I
input
dir
there, I get the response "can´t OPEN the DIR device". A little more
detailed instructions on how to debug/solve my problem would be very
useful.
Thanks!

Have you tried using the full path to these directories?

I have now been able to successfully run 'dir cd:,\\' from the OF
prompt (very cool - remotely via telnet) - don't know why I was not
successful with this before my previous post, sorry for the noise.
With the CD inserted, burnt from the original "boot.iso":

However, the TYPE and CRTR are not correct on the CD burnt from the
new "boot-new.iso":
1 > dir cd:,\\

Something still seems to be wrong/missing with the mkisofs options.
Maybe is has to do with the "no Apple/Unix files will be

You'll need a map file - this is what we use in anaconda, use with -map.
This is what we use in fedora essentially:
mkisofs -o boot.iso -chrp-boot -U \
-prep-boot ppc/chrp/yaboot \
-part -hfs -T -r -l -J \
-A "Fedora 4" -sysid PPC -V "PBOOT" -volset 4 -volset-size 1 \
-volset-seqno 1 -hfs-volid 4 -hfs-bless $(pwd)/ppc/ppc \
-map mapping -magic magic -no-desktop -allow-multidot \
$(pwd)/ppc
Note the hfs-bless using a full path due to mkisofs wackiness.

Thank you Paul, Luciano and David - works now :-)
OK, "for the archives", to get the image bootable, 'ofboot.b' must be
blessed as HFS in the CD's root directory, as type 'tbxi'
(all-lowercase - 'TBXI' won't work!).
Since there is no need to have any other file than 'ofboot.b' to be
associated with a certain type, I didn't use the full mapping table. I
think this is a more elegant way and it just WORKS. Here is the full
set of commands I have used:
test -d boot || mkdir boot
mount -o loop boot.iso boot
rm -rf boot-new; cp -rp boot boot-new
find boot-new -name TRANS.TBL -exec rm -f {} \;
echo "ofboot.b X 'chrp' 'tbxi'" > mapping
volume_id="PBOOT"; system_id="PPC"; volume_set_id="6";
application_id="Fedora Core 6"; hfs_volume_id=$volume_set_id
mkisofs -volid "$volume_id" -sysid "$system_id" -appid

-chrp-boot -prep-boot ppc/chrp/yaboot -hfs-bless
"$(pwd)/boot-new/ppc/mac" \
-o boot-new.iso $(pwd)/boot-new
The output of mkisofs should then be something like:
Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660.

Anyone tested the ppc boot.iso in RAW hide for Fedora Core 7. I've been
netbooting to install as of recent. But I do rember it not being able to
boot properly on my pseries workstation when I burned it to a CD. I
think that the -map option may have been missing.

pSeries doesn't work that way -- it looks at /ppc/bootinfo.txt on the
CD. I thought I'd tested it recently, but will do so again.

I saw that in the DVD image for Fedora Core 6 ppc, there is a
"iSeries" directory within /ppc which does not exist anymore in the
Prime DVD image for Fedora 6.92 ppc. Maybe that's the reason?
Another thing what I saw in the Fedora 6.92 image is that the volume
ID is not set properly, because is has double quotes on the beginning
and end of its string - '"Fedora 6.92 ppc DVD"' instead of 'Fedora
6.92 ppc DVD'.

You said pSeries, didn't you? So no.

Probably worth filing a bug against pungi for that.

Ok happened to try this today and things work fine. My JS20 blade got to
yaboot & booted the kernel on the boot.iso image I burned to CD.
All is well.
