How to boot ? (solved)

[Yi Liang]

I got problem to boot on linux after installing a YLD 3.0 on my ibook 366 lime 
(newRom, bootstrap of 1Mo before Linux and OS 9). 
 
Zapping pram and changing manually yaboot.conf in rescue mode were not enough. 
 
 
 
Now I've solved the problem this way : 
 
1 - changing parameters in my open firmware : 
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/solutions/ydl_general/boot_functions.shtml 
with this i was able to go on bootstrap 2nd step 
 
2 - loading linux manually : 
http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc/yaboot-howto.html/ch9.en.html 
with this i was able to work on linux. 
 
3 - launch yabootconfig from here (everything I tried with yaboot.config from 
the rescue mode were not working) 
 
4 - add manually in /etc/yaboot.conf a line for macos if needed 
(macos=/dev/hda10) 
 
This seems to work for me. 
 
What I cannot explain is why YLD hasn't saved any of my parameters during 
installation ? (no yaboot parameters, no user, no root password, no network..)
