Hello everyone!
After installing yaboot-static. I’m writing | Code: | | yabootconfig --chroot /mnt/gentoo |
and getting | Code: | | yabootconfig : command not found |
??????? where is this command?
And further, in Handbook , after chrooting is written | Code: | | mount /dev/sda1 /boot |
What is this sda1? Apple Bootstrap? If i have
| Code: | hdb1 -apple map
hdb2 -apple bootstrap
hdb3 -swap
hdb4 -root |

Bit of a thread bump, but did you end up finding a solution? I'm having the same issue on a G5 install.
The install wiki isn't as clear as it could be, once I get a working installation I'll see if it can be updated. |

Yes I agree the handbook isn't clear in this matter.
I ignored exiting the chroot and did the yabootconfig in the chroot instead. That worked for me, but...
After reading the Discussion page
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook_Talk:PPC/Installation/Bootloader
I decided in the end to switch to grub as found in
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1082746.html
which seems easier to maintain in the future.
Be prepared to read the whole grub-thread. Not every command in the first posting is needed anymore.
I did the following (my bootstrap partition is /dev/hda2) YMMV.
| Code: |
echo 'GRUB_PLATFORMS="ieee1275"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf
emerge --ask sys-boot/grub sys-fs/hfsutils
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda2 bs=512
hformat -l bootstrap /dev/hda2
mkdir /tmp/bootstrap && mount -t hfs /dev/hda2 /tmp/bootstrap
grub-install --macppc-directory=/tmp/bootstrap
umount /tmp/bootstrap
hmount /dev/hda2
hattrib -t tbxi -c UNIX :System:Library:CoreServices:BootX
hattrib -b :System:Library:CoreServices
humount
grub-mkconfig --output=/boot/grub/grub.cfg
