Hello,
The install appears to go fine, but when rebooted, it brings me to the Apple
open firmware boot CLI. The only options are to mac-boot or shut-down. It
appears that the yabot loader isn't loading itself?
I've noticed that when I create the Applebootswap I set it to 1MB but it
creates a 8MB partition. Also, the 256MB SWAP size becomes 259MB.
I am using a new drive, no MAC OS installed. Will this work without a MAC OS
installed?
Right now I am checking the hard drive for bad blocks. So far, everything is
OK.
And as I mentioned before, no errors during the install. Seems to find the
hard drive fine, format it, install files, etc.
Any ideas?
