Under Apple MacOS 9 (hfs+) there are 8 required partitions for the OpenBoot prom to "see" the disk correctly; I have been placing the FC5 AppleBoot lable on partition 9 and the rest of the standard install into /dev/hda10 (/boot), /dev/hda11 (swap), and /dev/hda12 (/) Is there a way to get the partitions onto the disk and not have to have the 8 "required" Apple labels? This is an old iMac with the firewire MoBo; I have re-installed from scratch now about 11 times and I cannot see any other way to get it to work. I remember from my Debian Ultrasparc days that the Ultra10 I had would not boot correctly without the required "SUN" harddisk labels. Is this the same deal with the disks used on an Apple? If so, then this brings up another issue -- how to make the 8 labels if one does not have the Apple doot CDs... ??? -- WC -Sx- Jones | http://ccsh.us/ | Open Source Consulting -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
