Ok, after I mounted /dev/sdb3 I did: chroot /mnt/ubuntu /bin/bash source /etc/profile Is this what you mean by chroot with ybin? When you say ybin will take the yaboot.conf in the /etc of ubuntu are you referring to the yaboot.conf created by the live CD and not the one in /mnt/ubuntu where I mounted /dev/sdb3? thanks, wes
