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)
