Package: yaboot
Version: 1.3.13a-1squeeze1
Severity: important
Tags: d-i
I) The entries in yaboot.conf macos=path and macosx=path are wrongly handled by
ybin,
if path is an open firmware alias like "hd:7" or "ultra1:6", without leading
"/".
The current working directory is put in front of the path, while ybin
translates yaboot.conf.
E.g. when calling ybin in directory /root, the generated line in ofboot.b is
: bootmacos " Booting MacOS..." .printf 100 ms load-base release-load-area "
/root/hd:7,\\:tbxi" $boot ;
but when calling ybin in directory /, the generated line in ofboot.b is
: bootmacos " Booting MacOS..." .printf 100 ms load-base release-load-area "
/hd:7,\\:tbxi" $boot ;
For both versions the menu item for MacOS shows up on boot, but both do not
work,
because the open firmware path should start directly with "hd:7...", without
anything else before.
II) Some further observations, which might be related to the failure above:
II.a) If I use a full open firmware name, like
macos=/pci@80000000/pci-bridge@d/pci-ata@1/@0/@0:7
then no menu item for MacOS is generated at all.
II.b) If I use a device name, like
macos=/dev/sda7
the generated line in ofboot.b is
: bootmacos " Booting MacOS..." .printf 100 ms load-base release-load-area "
/pci@80000000/pci-bridge@d/pci-ata@1/@0/@0:7,\\:tbxi" $boot ;
This works - but not always:
with the new kernel in squeeze, the hard disks now are handled as scsi drives,
and the naming in /dev is somewhat randomly, so after the next boot, the same
entry in yaboot.conf might fail.
