Power Developer :: Fedora Core 6 on Pegasos II

I installed fedora core 6 from the DVD.
The install its really easy, but now i want to boot, but I don't know waht I need to write in the of promt.
Ive tryed the commands of that post without good luck.
The best that it says its "unsupported filesystem"

I have installed it on a peg2 with 512 mb of ram and a radeon 7000.

My partition list its something like this:

bi0: FFS For boot.img of morphos
DH0: SFS Morphos sys
DH1: SFS Morphos software
DH2: SFS Morphos Games
DH3: SFS Morphos Misc partiton
dhxx EXT2 The linux / (i've tryed too with ext3)
dhxx SWAP the swap partiton

boot hd:6 /yaboot/yaboot conf=hd:6,/yaboot/yaboot.conf

Thats the correct boot sentence??

Thanks and sorry for my bad english and my lame linux knowledge

Please, helpme ASAP, i need the linux runnig to do some university practices and its the only computer that I can install it at the moment. Thanks another time

Frdora Core 6 installs on my Pegasos 2 My setup Pegasos2 G4 1Ghz Ati 9000pro graphics card WD 120 GB ide hard drive 512 MB memory DVD +r ide writer Booted from the DVD disk with the command Code: boot cd /images/netboot/ppc32.img It booted in to the GUI installer as on an x86 machine. I had only 2 problems/bugs 1. I have 2 versions of Fedora on my peg, FC4 which is my main os and FC5 which I am testing (becuse I have learned the hard way to try/test a new distro before upgrading). The installer had a problem with upgrading when ther is 2 partitions labeled '/'. To get around this I had to delete my FC5 partitions and select install in free space on harddrive. 2. when selecting package groups to install, if Fedora Extras is selected I get an Error box pops up and the peg reboots. So dont pick Fedora Extras and the install proceds normally. nels

Hi ! I would like to know if everything works for you now. In fact, I would like to write a tutorial about Fedora Core for Pegasos in the Pegasos book (the only problem is that I must find some space on my HD before !)

I installed FC6 today and the installation worked without any errors (no problems with Fedora Extras). But how do I boot FC6 :?:

boot hd:x /yaboot/yaboot conf=hd:x,/yaboot/yaboot.conf x = the fedora boot partition nels

Or (if you have only one partition for fedora as I do and you are working on /dev/hdb) : Example on /dev/hdb3 : boot hd0:3 /boot/yaboot/yaboot conf=hd0:3,/boot/yaboot/yaboot.conf No pb here with Fedora extras. Fedora 6 works fine here.

Thanks another time Depending on which firmware you have, the disk numbering is different. If it's 1.2 (Pegasos) or earlier or you have an Efika, then the partitions number from 0, so your Linux partition will be hd:5 If it's 1.2.99 (Pegasos) or above, it'll number from 1, with partition 0 being a special 'whole disk' partition.

@doraemon try Code: boot hd:5 /boot/yaboot/yaboot conf=hd:5,/boot/yaboot/yaboot.conf you can also use the 'ls' comand to list a partitions contents Code: ls hd:5 /boot/yaboot nels
