I bought a dual G4-MDD and I installed my SCSI disk I used on
my G3. Is there an osx command to get the openfirmware path of
the yaboot partition on that disc ?  I tried to boot
/pci@f2000000/ADPT,29160@12/@4:9,ofboot.b but it doesn't work.
Macosx mounts the HFS partitions on the old disc, but it doesn't
show any of them on the startup disk utility (does it need to be
blessed again ?).

the yaboot bootstrap partition should be type Apple_Bootstrap and thus
never mounted by any macos, if this is the case there is no need to
rebless it since macos never tampered with it.

IIRC it's Apple_Bootstrap, but first of all I must know the correct
ofpath... I also tried to boot the YDL2.3 cd without success :(

now if you didn't follow directions and made it an Apple_HFS then
macos probably broke it yes.

I'll try to get osx root access.


Bye.
