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/.

insofar as i can tell, it does not. i've been through all of the steps multiple times, and still no luck. what i mean here is that once you've built everything and specified yaboot.conf options from within the installer, shelling out and checking on /etc/yaboot.conf reveals a completely different, unconfigured set of options.
once i get the rest of this sorted out sufficiently, i'll definitely list the bug.

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.

this is admittedly a bit of a novice question, but how should i go about installing hfsutils under these circumstances? it's not in the list of optional packages, and as far as i can tell, not included in the iso at all. at no point can i shell out and "cast hfsutils" successfully. any suggestions?

thanks for your help,

chris madak
