| 00:14.14 | deadsmith | I'm installing the ppc sarge image demon pointed me to, and can't get it to recognize the apple bootstrap partition. set it to 820kb, named it Bootstrap... partition setup complains that it can't find apple bootstrap partition... |
| 00:15.25 | Stereo | deadsmith: I thnk it has to be set to a certain type or something |
| 00:15.42 | Stereo | but the last time I tinkered with that was years ago |
| 00:16.16 | deadsmith | it's set to NewWorld boot partition in type... which seems fairly obvious... |
| 00:16.38 | deadsmith | actually, I started off with it at 16MB, then switched to 820kb after the warning messages passed... |
| 00:16.44 | simonrvn | you just hit b to make it, don't hand create it |
| 00:16.58 | deadsmith | ah ha... okay... lemme back up... |
| 00:16.59 | simonrvn | rtfm |
| 00:21.39 | deadsmith | simonrvn: i type 'b' and all it does is highlight the "bootable" flag, which is flagged to "on" by default. maybe I'm not looking at the right manual? |
| 00:23.13 | simonrvn | you're using the wrong tool |
| 00:24.07 | deadsmith | simonrvn, this is the "partition disk" step in the installer... what tool should I be using? |
| 00:24.57 | simonrvn | wtf |
| 00:26.58 | simonrvn | sounds like it started cfdisk instead of mac-fdisk |
| 00:27.07 | simonrvn | don't /msg me |
| 00:27.31 | deadsmith | simonrvn, it has details for apple partitions... |
| 00:27.38 | deadsmith | and doesn't look like cfdisk... |
| 00:27.50 | deadsmith | but I haven't seen this frontend in a debian installer before... |
| 00:28.12 | simonrvn | then i'm lost... ask in #debian-boot |
| 00:29.18 | simonrvn | sorry |
