load size too small

[Wikinator]

Hallo,

ich versuche Debian auf meine iBook neben Mac OS X zu installieren. Ich gehe nach dieser Anleitung vor.
Doch in der Firmware-konsole bekomme ich mit einem "boot hd:5, yaboot" ein

Code: Alles auswählen

LOAD size too small

es wird nicht gebootet. meine debian-partition ist rund 12 GB groß.

I do trust you!
at the firmware prompt I typed:
boot hd:,\\yaboot
got back:
cant OPEN: hd:,\\yaboot

Why cant it open yaboot?

now I am hacking my way thru mac-fdisk and the partitioning the hard
drive. I'll be back ...
