the only error i got during my whole install was the on the reboot command...said it couldnt unmount my filesystems.
my yabootconfig doesnt work i had to do it manually and i think that there is a problem there also...my drive is teh /dev/sdb how to i set that in OpenFirmware? the only thing i see is hd: how does that dilineate from drive 1 and drive 2? please help
maybe a yaboot config file or something.
show my /etc/fstab be like /dev/BOOT or /dev/sdb2 (bootstrap) or sdb4(root)? _________________ AMD Athlon 64 1.8

I do not understand all the problems you mention.
I had the mount problem during my install also and solved it with umount -f (force).
About yabootconfig: I had a very hard time getting it to work.
I edited the file by and and used ybin -v to get the bootloader created.
Yet, this was not enough and I eventually solved this problem with an "Open Firmware" Reset
(start and hold down the keys Apple-Option-O-F till you hear several times the startup bang and then let it restart normally and you should see the bootloader coming).
Below is my yaboot.conf
Code: |
## yaboot.conf generated by yabootconfig 1.0.7
##
## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make changes until you have!!
##
## For a dual-boot menu, add one or more of:
## bsd=/dev/hdaX, macos=/dev/hdaY, macosx=/dev/hdaZ
boot=/dev/hda2
device=hd:
partition=5
root=/dev/hda5
timeout=30
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
image=/boot/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinux-old
label=Anc
read-only
macosx=/dev/hda9
enablecdboot
enableofboot

I am not sure whether sdb changes something. Hope this helps
