I am trying to autoyast an IBM OpenPower 520 system. When I autoyast
the system without creating a PReP boot partition, the autoyast won't
complete without error. I get the following error when it tries to
install the boot loader....
ERROR: boot = /dev/null is not a valid block device
When I create a PRep boot partition using the following in my autoyast
file....
<partition>
<format config:type="boolean">false</format>
65
primary
<size>24M</size>
</partition>
The autoyast completes fine and I get a bootable system. However, when
I do an fdisk on the booted system, the PReP Boot partition starts and
ends on cylinder 1 and I get a message stating that "Partition 1 does
not end on cylinder boundary".
So I have a couple of questions...
-Do I need to create this PReP Boot partition? If so, what is the
correct configuration so to not get the cylinder boundary error?
-If I must have it, how do I mount it after the fact so I can modify
bootloader settings?
-Can this partition be a FAT16 partition, and if so how do I create
this, I tried using partiton_id 5 and 6 and my autoyast fails.
Any help appreciated.
