So, finished installing OpenBSD 4.9 the other day on a recently
acquired old iBook. It all went very well, right up until the point
where I tried to boot my new OpenBSD system up. In Open Firmware, I
had to play around with the device name to find something that
didn't give an error, and when I finally did, it booted into... Mac
OS 9.2.2! Tada! Not really. It was actually very anti-climatic.

Then I tried installing a small Debian partition, hoping that maybe
OpenBSD would do better at booting via yaboot than via Open
Firmware, but, no luck: Debian won't even install. It complains
that either there is no Apple Bootstrap partition or else it is the
wrong size. I'm not sure what to do about that. Wasn't Mac OS X
supposed to install any necessary Apple Bootrap partitions? If it
didn't, what can I do? The Mac OS X installer's partitioning tool
really isn't that powerful.

Why should ofwboot take me to Mac OS 9.2.2? And what's this Apple
Bootstrap partition Debian is complaining about?
