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..

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