yaboot will boot os x, but if I type an "l" at the prompt it prints the
following
/pci@8000000/pci-bridge@d/Ultra-Tek100P@4/0,0:2,/bootvmlinux-2.4.22-2f:
Unable to open file, Invalid device.
I used carbon copy cloner to clone my working os x to the drive
attached to the Ultra-Tek ide controller, it booted just fine. For some
reason it would not work for yaboot.
I repartitioned my main drive, allocating free space for the apple
bootstrap partition and the rest to os x, cloned os x back, installed
ydl, seemed to go fine. I have been reading about openfirmware, but
this seems to be a yaboot problem, no? I am left with a "boot:" prompt.
I am confused as to what path might be appropriate here, or what other
steps to take. I did manage to provide a pdisk dump below (something
new to me, cool)
