(In reply to comment #1) > missing yaboot.conf fixed in rawhide. Are you sure this is *fixed*? As I mentioned, I tried the rawhide tree dated march 21 and the error was still there. I don't think the work around in 149081 from Cagney is acceptable. (install mac OS X, ...) > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 149081 ***
Can you try a later boot.iso, usually if something is marked fixed, it takes a day or so to hit rawhide. If it's still not working let me know and I'll debug asap.

Tried boot.iso today (10383360 Mar 29 06:58 boot.iso). (BTW, the mac64 dir was not there anymore, so I assumed it had been merged to the same mac dir). The yaboot.conf seemed to be there, but still crashed on the G5 machine just one step further. error message looks like: ============================ ... Starting cpu /cpu/PowerPC,G5...
