Thanks for responding Bruce. Running the generate_os_chooser script marks os-chooser as bootable. I tried switching the boot script lines, but this only affects which os is booted when space isn't held down at startup. Pressing space still doesn't boot into the other os. I also tried moving all the files from suseboot to the top level of the boot partition, but this had no perceivable effect. I'm not sure I understand your last suggestion, though. Do you refer to the image = vmlinux part, and that it should be changed to image = hd:7,/boot/vmlinux for the linux label. Regards, --Rasmus
Hi there, This is a very quiet list so here is my setup. 1. If you want MacOS to boot first, you will have to adjust yaboot to
5 + c@ 08 = if " Booting Yaboot ..." cr " boot hd:7,\\yaboot" eval else " Booting MacOS ..." cr " boot hd:6,\\:tbxi" eval then
After that, did you run 'mark os-chooser bootable' in the tools folder. This makes os-chooser a bootable resource.
Try setting it ot MacOS default and then starting yaboot by holding down the space bar. If the boot prompt comes up hit the tab key to get the bootable options.
Then start changing os-chooser around.
On top of that, the Manula is a bit misle4ading. ALL system resources appear to HAVE to be at the top level of the Linux Boot partition - ie not in the suseboot folder. So system, finder os-chooser, ramdisk.image.gz,vmlinux,yaboot, yaboot.conf and the tools folder at the top level. This works for me on a PowerBook G3 500 which is just a bloated iMac. As for the partition names, yes I tried lots but hd:10,... works fine. in yaboot,conf use hdx,/boot/vmlinuxname
