I created a 1 MB Apple Bootstrap, a Swap and a ext3-partion. Then I booted slackintosh again, selected the partitions and installed it.
But now i can't boot it. There's no yaboot anywhere :|



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..

Thanks a lot!

My Bootstrap-partition is after my os x installation :| *grr*
I'll try it, thanks!
