Dear all,

yesterday I tried to install Yellowdog 4 on my Peg II using the new support pack. Since I run MorphOS and PegXMac on my PC, I wanted to install Yellowdog into the 7th partition on my Peg (/dev/hda7).

Unfortunately, Yellowdog doesn't seem to handle more than 6 partitions. Its install routine is unable to mount /dev/hda7 or copy files to it. I started the Rescue shell and checked /dev. The files in there only go up to /dev/hda6. No hda7! A mount -t ext2 /dev/hda7 /mnt/hd-1 therefore leads to an error that the "special device" /dev/hda7 doesn't exist.

Since this is Linux, documentation is a problem. I couldn't find anywhere on the net any documentation (let alone anything readable) how to get a /dev/hda7 if there is none.

Any clues would be appreciated! Thanks to all in advance!!

Best regards

Did you find any solution?

Fred

sorry my english is bad

1.boot your standart linux part :) -> debian /dev/hda4
2.mount ydl iso file (file or device)
2.1 mount ydl part /dev/hda8
3. unzip /data/*.bz file to your ydl partiton /dev/hda8
4. edit fstab in /dev/hda8/etc/
5. boot ydl 4 .... have fun

little how to ... (peg1 and peg2 ) http://home.arcor.de/m.heider/ydl4_de.html

hey yum and apt has no working links (ydl account)
but you can use yum with fedora core 2 ppc repos !!!!!!

I had the same problem yesterday, it is partition hda8 to me. (I let 12 Gig free at the end of my harddisk in expection that there will come in the near future a hack to install AmigaOS 4.0 )
I found another solution: I just use the YDL cd.rom to repair my Debian on hda5

Is there *any* reason to switch from Debian to YDL?
