Folks, I want to install debian for use on my ibook on an external USB hard drive. The installation goes smoothly until it tries to install yaboot. It fails with no explanation, and I can't figure out why.
The only relevant messages I see look like this: yaboot-installer: info: probed: /dev/discs/disc0/part3:Mac OS X:MacOSX:macosx yaboot-installer: debug: mapped: /dev/hda3 I created the NewWorld boot partition as part of my manual partitioning, and it is the first partition on the drive. All other partitions are part of lvm (home, root, swap). I also tried letting debian auto-partition with the same results. I'm used to linux on PCs, so my knowledge of how macs boot is slim. Can you help me diagnose this? Hopefully it's a simple problem. I've googled and such with no luck. FWIW, this is the latest debian-ppc install cd with an ibook G4 and a 160GB external usb2.0 hard drive.
