| 00:15.42 | Austin | omg i am glad i found this channel |
| 00:16.05 | Austin | I am trying to install the debian ppc version on an old powerbook and yaboot keeps failing with the error "WARNING **: CONFIGURING ' yaboot-installer' failed with error code 1". I have been looking on google but can seem to figure out a system |

| 00:21.04 | Austin | i did forget to mention i am trying to install it on a mac booted in targetdisk mode over firewire |
| 00:26.34 | pahartik | Hello Austin |
| 00:29.37 | pahartik | Austin: Otherwise install succeeds but "ofpath" fails when installing "yaboot"? |

| 00:32.13 | Austin | yeah i think so |
| 00:32.21 | Austin | that sounds right |
| 00:32.37 | Austin | and hello pahartik |
| 00:34.06 | Austin | pahartik: do you know of any solutions? |
| 00:35.12 | Austin | pahartik: becuase i am selecting the correct part for the bootloader to be added to /dev/sda2 <-- is the firewire mounted correct part |
| 00:39.47 | pahartik | Austin: Run "ybin" manually and point it to "bootstrap" partition with "--boot"... |
| 00:40.38 | Austin | pahartik: so "ybin --boot/dev/sda2" |
| 00:41.22 | pahartik | Austin: And with "--verbose" |
| 00:41.38 | Austin | pahartik: from the boot cd or after completing the install? |
| 00:42.58 | Austin | pahartik: and just finishing without yaboot |
| 00:44.07 | pahartik | Austin: From "install media"... But one can experiment with it later as well, since other workstation can install it again... |
| 00:44.57 | Austin | pahartik: "/bin/sh: ybin: not found" |
| 00:46.13 | pahartik | Austin: How about "mkofboot"? |
| 00:46.24 | Austin | pahartik: same options |
| 00:48.35 | pahartik | Austin: Yes... |
| 00:49.03 | Austin | same error |
| 00:49.35 | Austin | pahartik: except of course for mkofboot instead of ybin |

| 01:14.46 | Austin | pahartik: sorry my internet went bad |
| 01:16.25 | Austin | pahartik: mkofboot gave the same error |
| 01:23.00 | pahartik | Austin: It probably wants you to define "--ofboot hd:2" or something similar |
| 01:25.13 | pahartik | Austin: It also modifies your local "OpenFirmware" environment variables, so you may have to set them on host workstation again |
| 01:38.41 | Austin | pahartik: it wants me to do that but I dont know how or where to do that |
| 01:49.21 | pahartik | Austin: "nvsetenv" in running "GNU/Linux" system, "nvset" in running "MacOS X" system, "setenv" in "OpenFirmware" console... |
