[Niklas Wellholt]

Nope you dont do u. The Apple_partition_map Apple is pobebly missing.
Well I have looked it over having the same problem. But I have an ide of how to make it work after bean reading some pages at http://penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot/doc/mac-fdisk-basics.shtml and http://penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot/doc/yaboot-howto.shtml/ch4.en.shtml 

Please let me know if its working
