Hi. I am having some extreme troubles, in that I am experiencing the issue
with YDL 3.0 installer, where it has set the partition type label to
=B3Apple_Bootstrap=B2 instead of =B3Apple_Partition_Map=B2.

Full details of this issue can be found in a post here:

My problem is that my install of yellow dog linux 3.0 will NOT boot at all.
Everytime that yaboot loads, I get the following error message:

/pci@80000000/pci-bridge@d/pci-ata@1/@0/disk@1:6, \\yaboot.conf: Unable to
open file, Invalid Device
Can=B9t open config file

So I am stuck in a rock and a hard place now... I have booted into os 9
successfully, but basically all my hard drives have the partition map
botched by the bug in the anaconda installer. And I can=B9t boot into YDL to
run an updated pdisk the way that the above link instructed...

Is there a way to fix these partition maps in os 9? And how about booting
into linux, what am I needing to do to fix that?
Please help,
Thanks,
Robbie Laughlin
