Chris Madak a écrit :
at any rate, after a relatively clean build, i shelled out to check /etc/yaboot.conf against the settings which i'd specified in the installer and found that everything was still set to defaults, so i changed settings accordingly, then tried to run ybin -b /dev/hda2 and was greeted with the following surprise:

Do you mean that the installer does not correctly install a working /etc/yaboot.conf file? If so, did you go throught all the installer menu, especially the optional spell selection? If this is the case, you need to raise a bug at http://bugs.sourcemage.org/.

Warning: 'nvsetenv' could not be found, nvram will not be updated
Failed to initialize HFS working directories: Read-only file system
ybin: /dev/hda2 appears to have never had a bootstrap installed, please run mkofboot

Do you have hfsutils installed? Since ybin is a shell script, you can try to run it with "sh -x ybin" to see where the error occurs.
