[ydl-gen] YDL 6.0 on PM G5: can't boot! help!?!

[Richardson, Joshua A.]

Hi Kevin,

Wouldn't the correct boot command be:

boot ultra0:1,\\yaboot

That's the way we used to do it.  We've moved away from YDL now though,
so it's been a while.

Subject: [ydl-gen] YDL 6.0 on PM G5: can't boot! help!?!

Hi,

	 I have a dual 2.5 GHz G5. It has 2 SATA disks in it. MacOS X is

installed on "the lower" disk (slave or second). YDL is installed on the

upper disk. I can boot MacOS X on the lower disk with:

	boot ultra1:3,\\:tbxi

If I try to boot Linux (yaboot?) with:

	boot ultra0:1,\\:tbxi

I get:

warning: sector size mismatch! can't OPEN: ultra0:1,\\:tbxi
can't open device or file

The OF version is:

Apple PowerMac7,3 5.1.8f7  10/26/04

devalias ultra0 is /ht/pci at 7/k2-sata-root/k2-sata at 0/disk at 0
devalias ultra1 is /ht/pci at 7/k2-sata-root/k2-sata at 1/disk at 0

The installer appears to have created an MSDOS style partition table? Is

that right? I used install_text for the install. I have YDL 4.0.1 on a 
GigE that I can boot with:

boot ultra1:2,\\:tbxi

with no problems. It brings up yaboot just fine.

Linux partition is:
