I have been booting the (installed) system off the installation CD, which works
great. (G4, potato, installed on external scsi drive, non BIOS scsi card). I
would like to be able to create CDs to boot from - either for backup for when I
wear this one out, or to use a different kernel, or whatever - but I am having
no success. Whether I copy the relevant files (kernel, yaboot, yaboot.conf,
etc.) to a new CD, or I copy the entire Debian CD, I still get the same
message from OF: �can�t OPEN: cd:,\\yaboot�. A comparison (by Toast) of the
Debian CD and my copy shows there are two (invisible, root directory) files
that are not being copied, Desktop DB and Desktop DF. Do these �bless� the CD,
making it bootable and, if so, does anybody know of any way to make them
copyable so I can get them onto my CD? Or any other way to get it to work?
Alternatively, is there any way to get the boot-floppy-hfs.img on a (bootable)
CD? Getting it on a floppy seems pretty easy, but that�s not terribly useful
on a G4....
I can�t find anything on this subject anywhere I�ve looked, so any suggestions,
hints, info, etc. would be most appreciated.
Mike
