Description Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-20 12:42:03 UTC
Hi,

there are three small fixed needed in the ppc64 handbook.

1. Preparing the disks -> mac-fdisk -> bootblock -> partitions should be 2p not 1p etc.:
  all partition numbers have to be 'partition number + 1', because I forgot - when I wrote this - that the first partition is used for the partition map itself (this is a mac specific 'feature'..)

2. Kernel configuration: Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Generic
  /dev/rtc emulation -> not needed, drop it from handbook.

3. And it would be great if this small example yaboot config file could be added to 'Configuring the Bootloader -> 10.c. Using yaboot on IBM'

-------- SNIP --------
device=disk:
partition=2
root=/dev/sda2
default=2.6.8-gentoo-r3
timeout=50

image=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.8-gentoo-r3
        label=2.6.8-gentoo-r3
        append="console=ttyS0,9600"
        read-only
-------- SNIP --------

Thx!

Markus
