I forgot something to say ;)
/dev/hde10 !was! my bootstrap-partition first. I read in the yaboot
howto, that this partition should have the partition number 2. So I
reordered my partitions like this:
Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/hde'
#: type name length base ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_Bootstrap untitled 20481 @ 4196128 ( 10.0M)
3: Apple_Driver43*Macintosh 56 @ 64
4: Apple_Driver43*Macintosh 56 @ 120
5: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 56 @ 176
6: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 56 @ 232
7: Apple_FWDriver Macintosh 512 @ 288
8: Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh 512 @ 800
9: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 1312
10: Apple_HFS "Mac OS X Server" 4194304 @ 1824 ( 2.0G)
11: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 1048577 @ 4216609 (512.0M)
12: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled 114838014 @ 5265186 ( 54.8G)
I altered yaboot.conf corresponding to this change.
...and again, I don't need to have a OS X partition - this was a test
only! I only want to install YDL on the Xserve so I really hope that
it's possible to get this partition-map after YDL installation
somehow:
Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/hde'
#: type name length base ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_Bootstrap untitled 20481 @ 4196128 ( 10.0M)
11: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 1048577 @ 4216609 (512.0M)
12: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled 114838014 @ 5265186 ( 54.8G)
By the way... must I set the /boot mountpoint to the bootstrap
partition? I haven't done this!
Ok, thats all :o)
