First let me say that I am really pumped about a fedora based instal on
the ppc arch and am looking forward to helping further the cause.
I am trying to install fedora 3 from a tree synced with
ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/fedora-ppc/fc3-ppc/
by using the information on
http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fedorappc.html
First try, I evidently screwed up the yaboot config since I could not
boot the box. I have reinstalled OSX, allowed it to update packages and
have installed FC3 using a cd burned from images/mac/boot.iso
the install has completed and I find myself not knowing what to do at
this point.
the output of parted /dev/hda print does not show a partition with the
boot flag so before I putz with this I thought I would ask
here is the output of parted saved to a file and scped over to my laptop
after chrooting to /mnt/sysimage
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-38154.375 megabytes
Disk label type: mac
Minor Start End Filesystem Name Flags
1 0.000 0.031 Apple
3 128.031 19077.218 Apple_HFS_Untitled_2
2 19077.219 34077.218 ext3 untitled
4 34077.219 34589.218 linux-swap swap swap
Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if
necessary.
I am surprised at the partioning but it may be a result of the steps I
took to get here.
Installed OSX used disk manager or whatever it is called to create two
partitions. I assumed that the first one would be installed but do not
remember specifying.
OSX install went without a hitch.
Booted to FC3 install cd and used disk druid to partition there were
Three partitions one timy one and two about 18GB I deleted the second
hfs partition and created a 15GB ext3 and a 512MB swap.
I suspect I screwed something up at that stage.
any ideas what I should pass to yabootconfig to get this to work or have
I hosed the damn thing again ?
Thanks
Bret
