Hi everyone,
I tried to get Debian to boot from a 2nd HD on a G5 today but had no
luck. Here's what I did:
used Ubuntu live CD to get into tthe system:
--mounted sdb3 whre my /root lies
--edited /etc/yaboot.conf and made it look like this:
-
boot=/dev/sdb2
device=/[EMAIL PROTEC

You're right that I don't need to do the source thing. I do have a
question about "chroot /mnt/ur.sdb3.mnt.pt /usr/sbin/ybin" however.
By doing this command, will ybin now access the modified yaboot.conf
in sdb3? What is it that chroot is doing in this command? I realize
this is a basic questio

Ok, after I mounted /dev/sdb3 I did:
chroot /mnt/ubuntu /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
Is this what you mean by chroot with ybin? When you say ybin will
take the yaboot.conf in the /etc of ubuntu are you referring to the
yaboot.conf created by the live CD and not the one in /mnt/

Hi guys, thanks for the info. Here's what I've done:
--mount sdb3
--edit yaboot.conf
--chroot /mnt/sdb3 (where sdb3 is mounted)
--mount -t proc none /proc
--ybin -v
I also tried
--mount sdb3
--edit yaboot.conf
--chroot /mnt/sdb3 (where sdb3 is mounted)
--mount -t proc none /proc
--exit
--mount
ps...here/s the output of ybin -debug where root is my sdb3 mount point:
ybin: DEBUG: macosx set to
`/[EMAIL PROTECTED],f200/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL
