iBook Dualboot?
Well I've just bought this old clamshell iBook (the turquoise one for those who care) and it comes with the amazing Mac OS 8.6. So I gave it a nice big 60GB HDD and 288MB RAM so it's goes a bit faster and the put OS 8.6 back on it. Then I thought it would be really good if I could dual boot to linux, so I got all seperate partitions (can't believe how many os 8 uses!! theres like 8 or 9 partitions!) and I put debian for powerpc on it. Now debian works fine...but it didnt find os 8 when it was installing the boot loader (yaboot) which is a bit of a pain really. Does anyone know how I can make it ask me to boot debian or os 8? I really hope so!
