4.8 on Powerbook G4 - Won't boot

[Gable Barber]

PowerBook5,2
1.25gHz G4

Fresh install, used entire disk for OpenBSD, and automatic
partitioning layout. I did NOT move ofwboot to the boot partition with
OSX, I didn't read that part of the install notes until after I
installed. I moved ofwboot by booting off cd, mounting wd0, and moving
it manually from the cd.

Any help is greatly appreciated!


Boot to Open Firmware and attempt to boot produces several error messages.

Tried the following (and more):
boot hd:,ofwboot bsd.rd
boot hd:,ofwboot bsd
boot hd:0,ofwboot bsd.rd
boot hd:,oofwboot bsd

Error is:
DISK-LABEL: LOAD <noninterposed> not supportedload-size=0 adler32=1
LOAD-SIZE is too small.




disklabel, fdisk, and dmesg:

ofwboot should be on a HFS / HFS+ ("Mac OS Extended"/"Mac OS Extended
(Journaled)" in Disk Utility) partition, preferably the 1st one on the boot
disk. Have you copied ofwboot to the HFS partition or in the OpenBSD / ?

I moved it to wd0a, assuming this was the correct partition. Is it not?

I know entire disk works with intel Macs, and I remember that
there was some discussion of entire partition working on PPC
Macs back when Apple went pure insane. But does entire disk
work with all PPC Macs?

If so, what does one do instead of ofwboot, since there is no
PCBIOS and the 4-DOS-partition paradigm doesn't hold?

And, which machines does entire partition work on?

Did you do that from Mac OS or from openbsd?

What format is wd0a? HFS+? or openbsd's native format? (What was it, now, I wish I weren't losing my memory.)

Anyway, I'm thinking that wd0a is probably not a place you'll be able to talk the open firmward boot ROM into reading ofwboot from. Especially if you used the default partitioning scheme.

Hi,

I use fresh install, entire disk for OpenBSD, and but manuall partitioned
since it's a small disk.

My disklabel and wd0i partition look like:

# disklabel wd0
# /dev/rwd0c:
type: ESDI
disk: ESDI/IDE disk
label: FUJITSU MHS2030A
uid: 2b6c4ae49a2fe27a
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 16
sectors/cylinder: 1008
cylinders: 58140
total sectors: 58605120
boundstart: 4096
boundend: 58605120
drivedata: 0

16 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 56503424 2101696 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 # /
b: 2097584 4096 swap
c: 58605120 0 unused
i: 2048 1 MSDOS
# mount -t msdos -o -l /dev/wd0i /mnt
# ls /mnt
OFWBOOT
# ls -l /mnt
total 128
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 63648 Dec 6 21:13 OFWBOOT
#

I didn't move or copy anything, the OpenBSD installer did the right thing.

I did set the boot variables to
hd:,ofwboot
and
/bsd

It does consistantly the right thing for me.

cheers
