The Bootstrap partition should be the first partition, the output of

# mac-fdisk -l /dev/hdX 
should look like this:

Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/hda'
 #:                type name        length   base     ( size )
 1: Apple_partition_map Apple           63 @ 1       
 2:     Apple_Bootstrap bootstrap     1600 @ 64      


You *need* a bootstrap partition, you can't install yaboot without it.

You may be able to boot your Slackintosh-installation via cdrom:

At the boot prompt, enter

'install root=/dev/hda3'

Change hda3 to your rootfs


After this, try to run 'ybin -v' and it should tell you what's wrong..
