-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Charset: UTF8 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 3.0 wsBcBAEBAgAGBQJNv+uHAAoJEKlMTST7VF+o/cYIALZPDztm9OfPLHfjZF+zfsv0oC8K XIPQzHWvWF/3im8G3uUhhk3UH0vRUckBj5mwcNT0KIgIEAL5YtKeFz8P0JSki1DPeRQi Olgkbxt+uXJYRS0mEzbSFtdo4d+9li64HQrBU9TvMDDmahXX7jK+Zkfe5g99aY202QFG /YQV86zHV2GvX8kx4HYImV0eBLoW8yvS/FfXkRxLtjBaqnKAku23TxrNiAXgrni+EG4m mS5t6KTi3gIbGLfBHWIzWCzVDHAjWSQNTqb7GnWtVlD6FODgxWgph4gbhrhD3ogghi2J XR4YDmz6Ju0yS4ZtYhV9mDUl0fZ4jRxU+E02Wgy1+zI= =sMUO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
