Im just installing 2004.1 PPC on my G3 12,1 800mhz ibook and im at the last step of the config..

when i try to use yabootconfig it says:

Install yaboot bootstrap on /dev/hda2 to boot linux from /dev/hda4? [Yes] Yes ;).. creating a simple /etc/yaboot.conf
Yabootconfig: Could not determine necessary information aborting.
Yabootconfig: Are you using yabootconfig instead of yabootconfig --chroot ?


mac-fdisk
/dev/hda2 Apple-Bootstrap bootsrap 800.0k NewWorld boot block

fstab
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda4 / ext3 noatime 0 1
. hope the fstab is correct.



how do i fix this ? im pretty newb hee..

Thnx!!! :)

Your /etc/fstab is not correct. /dev/hda2 is an Apple Bootstrap partition, and is needed for yaboot. You should not put that in your /etc/fstab, so just drop the /dev/hda2 line and you should be fine.
The other thread will tell you more about yabootconfig.
