I know this for sure as I did not even have MacOS on my machine for months. 3 files are copied to the bootstrap: ofboot.b yaboot.conf yaboot yaboot is a binary yaboot.conf is a copy of the file in /etc ofboot.b is created by the ybin scripts, based on machine info gleaned from /proc and yaboot.conf. MacOS Rom is only needed for MOL Let me know on the SCSI - and my apologies for omitting the aic7xxx driver.

Concerning the ofboot, I think the install failed maybe because yaboot could not copy the Mac OS ROM from the syst. folder as the Mac OS drive was not seen. My Mac OS resides on one of the SCSI drives (the original one, as master drive). I'll check also in the OF what is the boot-device and give you the info tomorrow.

As far as being able to boot MacOS from ofboot, that should not rely at all on the Linux kernel, as the whole process takes place before Linux ever comes into play. Where does MacOS reside and what does Open Firmware show as a boot-device?

Internal SCSI drives not seen by DrakX...
Hi everyone, I have a Blue/White G3 Rev.1 (yosemite) and have been running different linux distros for 2 years (LPPC, YDL...). First, congrats for DrakX which sounds really nice, for the french Kbd too... Thought, I ran through a problem with DrakX (Final Mandrake 8.0 PPC) which was unable to see my internal SCSI drives. Fortunatly I have a third drive that is an IDE and which was recognized and could install Mandrake 8.0 on this guy. Of course the bootloader install did not work as no MacOS partition was seen. I could start Mandrake 8.0 later on using BootX. How come the internal SCSI drives are not seen (YDL 2.0 sees it, LPPC2KQ4 sees it too) by DrakX? Adding the MacOS partition by hand during the bootloader install did not work either...
