| 02:27.41 | reverent1 | installed debian via debootstrap into another partition, installed some pkgs., kernel and have yet to edit yaboot as I'm wondering if I'm forgetting anything |
| 02:28.41 | simonrvn | install yaboot into the bootstrap with ybin? |
| 02:29.17 | reverent1 | no, just gonna edit current yaboot |
| 02:29.28 | reverent1 | unless that's not possible |
| 02:30.51 | simonrvn | you'll still need to run it to make it 'take' |
| 02:31.20 | reverent1 | so run ybin ? |
| 02:31.43 | simonrvn | after editing, of course |
| 02:31.57 | reverent1 | ok |
| 02:32.06 | reverent1 | I'm new to the ppc world |

| 02:33.26 | simonrvn | kinda like any other bootloader that requires it like lilo. some people here have tried using grub2, and some succeeded. |
| 02:33.42 | reverent1 | would b nice :) |
| 02:34.11 | reverent1 | for image I put = image=/dev/hda5/boot/vmlinux |
| 02:34.48 | simonrvn | i don't think that'll work |
| 02:37.06 | reverent1 | uuid ... |
| 02:37.20 | simonrvn | yaboot doesn't support uuids |
| 02:37.27 | reverent1 | okay so I think editing my current fstab file may help? |
| 02:38.05 | simonrvn | what are you trying to do? boot from the debstrapped partition, or add it as an alternate? |
| 02:38.14 | simonrvn | debootstrapped* |
| 02:38.18 | reverent1 | I'm in ubuntu |
| 02:38.27 | reverent1 | but I want to add the debian partition |
| 02:38.35 | reverent1 | so i can boot into that |
| 02:38.49 | reverent1 | just used debootstrap to install debian |
| 02:39.03 | reverent1 | http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/yaboot-howto/ch5.en.html |
| 02:39.08 | simonrvn | ok. sec. |
| 02:39.10 | reverent1 | and I'm reading from that |
| 02:39.22 | simonrvn | yeh just read that, better. |
| 02:39.50 | simonrvn | (i haven't fucked with yaboot much) |
| 02:39.56 | reverent1 | same here |
| 02:40.26 | simonrvn | quik yes, penguinXX yes, but not yaboot. only have one newworld mac ppc here |
| 02:40.41 | reverent1 | same here |
| 02:40.45 | reverent1 | g4 7447 |
| 02:44.36 | reverent1 | well the bootstrapped partition fstab file is empty |
| 02:45.11 | simonrvn | have fun ;) |
| 02:46.11 | reverent1 | debian is not using uuid ? |
| 02:46.17 | reverent1 | please say no |
| 02:47.52 | simonrvn | "debian" does, yaboot doesn't. no support, like i said. it's not a kernel or distro thing, it's a bootloader thing. |
| 02:48.12 | reverent1 | that's good then |
| 02:54.51 | reverent1 | I don't see why i would have to run ybin if yaboot is already installed |
| 02:56.16 | reverent1 | damn yaboot is crazy |

| 03:01.06 | simonrvn | have you ever used lilo? |
| 03:01.28 | reverent1 | I have avoided all my linux life |
| 03:04.41 | simonrvn | lilo is the same, every change, you have to re-run it. |
| 03:05.07 | simonrvn | i.e., edit your conf, when done, run it |
| 03:06.05 | reverent1 | I reckon I'm gonna have to wait til I get some discs |
| 03:06.13 | reverent1 | let the deb installer figure this stuff out |
| 03:06.21 | reverent1 | ofpath not being an arse |
| 03:14.12 | simonrvn | you can always look in /proc/device-tree to figure it out |
| 03:14.29 | simonrvn | it's a /proc interface to OF |
| 03:14.47 | reverent1 | http://tinypaste.com/086a9 |
| 03:15.23 | reverent1 | put that into a new yaboot.conf |
| 03:15.26 | reverent1 | ran ybin |
| 03:15.44 | reverent1 | and it replies: ybin: /dev/hda2: No such file or directory |
| 03:15.44 | reverent1 | ybin: /dev/nvram: No such file or directory |
| 03:15.44 | reverent1 | ybin: Warning: nvram will not be update |
| 03:27.08 | simonrvn | so create them, or bind mount /dev into the chroot |
| 03:29.32 | reverent1 | hmm |
| 03:29.38 | reverent1 | yes I did not mount dev |
| 03:39.42 | reverent1 | another day |
| 03:39.50 | reverent1 | thanks simonrvn |
