uglyYaboot error at Slackintosh install

[Lokesh987]

Hi,
I am using a G3 iMac DV (500Hz, 160 MB RAM) as a networkless stand alone computer. Trying out Slackintosh 12.1 with the install CDs.

Using mac-fdisk, HDD was partioned:
/dev/hda1 Apple_partition_map
/dev/hda2 Apple_Bootstrap
/dev/hda3 Apple_UNIX_SVR2
/dev/hda4 swap

Followed the setup until yaboot installation. Here I got an error message:
Chroot: cannot execute /bin/mkdir
Chroot: cannot execute //uglyYaboot
Unable to find a NewWorld bootblock

Checked /bin/mkdir on /dev/hda3, it is there. (mounted to /mnt)
UglyYaboot? What is that?

So the result is not unexpected, since the bootloader cannot be set up the system won't boot. I tried yabootconfig but that does not exist.

No ideas what to do. Google does not return anything on UglyYaboot. Any ideas?

Yaboot appears to be the bootloader for the PPC. When I google UglyYaboot, I get this thread (your post) as the top result.


I really don't know about Slackintosh. But who mounted /dev/hda3 on /mnt?
I know the regular installer can be thrown off by manually mounting things under /mnt, so if you did this manually, then try to mount /dev/hda3 under a new directory (for example /disk ).

Its somewhat strange, usually error messages can be found in masses.

But who mounted /dev/hda3 on /mnt?

Not sure whether it was me or already done by the installer. Since it was chrooted already, probably mounting was by the installer.

Has nobody ever heard of uglyYaboot?
