Hi, trying to install Debian sarge using Beta 4. I try to install side by s=
ide=20
with existing OSX. I had partitioned my harddrive in advance using Mac=20
partitioning tools. Here I had one partition for OSX, one for data from=20
different cvs and subversion repositories, and one for my debian system. Fo=
r=20
the to latter partitions I choosed "Unix" for filesystem from the=20
partitioning tool in OSX.
Booting up the install disk went fine. No problems until I should partition=
=2E=20
Choosing manual partition, and I get this partiton table:
IDE1 master - 30.0 GB TOSHIBA MK3021GAS
#1 32.2 kB Apple
134.1 MB FREE SPACE
#3 12.5 GB hfs+ Apple_HFS_Un
#4 8.9 MB hfs+ eXternal boo
#5 6.1 GB Apple_UFS_Un
#6 8.9 MB hfs+ eXternal boo
#7 11.2 GB Apple_UFS_Un
I then erased partition #7 and let partman auto-create my partitions (/=20
and /home) there. Resulting in this table:
IDE1 master - 30.0 GB TOSHIBA MK3021GAS
#1 32.2 kB Apple
134.1 MB FREE SPACE
#3 12.5 GB hfs+ Apple_HFS_Un
#4 8.9 MB hfs+ eXternal boo
#5 6.1 GB Apple_UFS_Un
#6 8.9 MB hfs+ eXternal boo
#2 3.1 GB =E1=9B=8B =E2=98=BA ext3 untitled
/
#7 7.7 GB =E2=98=BA ext3 untitled /home
#8 391.5 MB =E2=98=BA swap swap swap
I then choosed "Finish partitioning and write changes to disk"
I then got a message about=20
"No NewWorld partition was found. The yaboot boot loader requires an=20
Apple_Bootstrap partition at least 820KB in size."
I then went back to the partition menu and made a NewWorld partition of 2 M=
B=20
in the FREE SPACE between #1 and #3.
=46or usage method a choosed "Use the partition as a NewWorld boot partitio=
n",=20
and I called the partition: Apple_Bootstrap
The partitiontable was now like this:
IDE1 master - 30.0 GB TOSHIBA MK3021GAS
#1 32.2 kB Apple
#9 1.9 MB =E1=9B=8B =E2=98=BB boot Apple_Bootst
132.2 MB FREE SPACE
#3 12.5 GB hfs+ Apple_HFS_Un
#4 8.9 MB hfs+ eXternal boo
#5 6.1 GB Apple_UFS_Un
#6 8.9 MB hfs+ eXternal boo
#2 3.1 GB =E1=9B=8B =E2=98=BA ext3 untitled
/
#7 7.7 GB =E2=98=BA ext3 untitled /home
#8 391.5 MB =E2=98=BA swap swap swap
When I finished the partitoning I still got the message "No NewWorld partit=
ion=20
was found." This time I ignored it.
I started the base system installation. That went fine. But "Install yaboot=
on=20
a hard disk" failed of course. I got the message:
=C2=ABNo hard disk were found which have an "Apple_Bootstrap" partition. Yo=
u must=20
create an 800K partition named "bootstrap", with type "Apple_Bootstrap".=C2=
=BB
This gave inconsistent information related to the previous message. Here it=
=20
stands that the partition should be named "bootstrap", that was not mention=
ed=20
before. The size should be 800K, last time it was at least 820 KB, and the=
=20
type should be "Apple_Bootstrap".
I went back to the partman tool and renamed partition #9 to "bootstrap". I=
=20
changed the size to 800 KB, but I couldn't change the type, the only option=
=20
is NewWorld partition.=20
When finishing partitioning I still get the message about missing NewWorld=
=20
partition, and I can still not install yaboot. Same message as befor.

I think all the issues in this bug report were solved some time ago, so
I'm closing it now. Thanks for your testing!
