Greetings, I tried to get a dual boot going with Mac OS 8.5.1 and Ubuntu Linux. I used the Mac disk utility to initialize the HD with 2 partition; installed Mac OS in the first one: it worked fine. Then I booted Ubuntu install CD, set the Mac HFS partition as the Newworld boot partition, and flagged it bootable. I then created an ext3 and a swap partition in the free space and ran the install. Ubuntu booted up fine, but the yaboot menu doesn't list the Mac OS parttion, and neither did /etc/yaboot.conf . What can I do differently to get yaboot to recognise the Mac partition and boot it by default?
On a previous install, I didn't designate a partition as the newworld boot partition, and the error message said "no New world boot partition was found...yaboot...requires an Apple_bootstrap partition of at least 819200 bytes." How do I give yaboot what it needs? I need to Mac partition so my mom can use the computer for her AOL mail. She can't use web browsers or mail clients except for AOL's. _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.
