Is this device really bootable? Please add the option "copy" to your image= section, this will copy the kernel and the needed files on the boot partition.

Wenns mit dem Englisch nicht so klappt, ja. ;)
Yes, it is. After installing 3 hardrives (/dev/hdd10/ = Master: Seagate with a bootable Mac HFS-partition and /dev/hdd9/ an other Mac-partition, 1. /dev/hdb/ Slave: the original Quantum 10 GB Mac HD, also bootable, but with a little defekt, 2. /dev/hda/ Slave (at the second ide-port) with one little bootable partition with suseboot and the linux-partitions /root /swap). I am booting Mac-OS on the Master. Is there any way to change the partition-names f.ex. /dev/hdd10 to /dev/hdbx without crashing the linux or Mac-system?
The linux-system is booting without any trouble, but only with "yaboot" and choosing the device with the controllfield "Startvolume". The elegant way by pressing the space-key does not work, because /dev/hdd will not be accept as an Mac-bootable device. That's the problem.
The bootloader and the kernel must be on a device that can be accessed from the OpenFirmware. If you have a IDE card with no OpenFirmware ROM it can not be used as a boot device. I guess you need a driver in MacOS to access that device? Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
