yaboot still not working...

[whosgothecrack]

when i type

mkofboot -v

i get the error message:

mkofboot: /usr/local/lib/yaboot/yaboot: No such file or directory
mkofboot: /usr/local/lib/yaboot/ofboot: No such file or directory
mkofboot: /dev/nvram: No such file or directory
mkofboot: Warning: nvram will not be updated

????? what do i do?
i tried booting into the open firmware and typing in the commands someone suggested above, but nothing happened...when i booted i just got a folder w/ a question mark on it and then it booted into osx. any ideas? thanks. axel.

Found this today myself. For some reason the conf file is pointing you to a /usr/local... installation of yaboot instead of the /usr... path where it really lives.

Provided that the rest of your yaboot.conf file is correct, you can correct the magicboot/install lines to:

magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot

All should be well at this point. You'll still get the /dev/nvram error message, but it will ask you to confirm writing to your bootstrap partition and carry on as expected from there.

Cheers.
