[gentoo-powerpc] ybin command not fount

[Herminio Hernandez Jr.]

Hello,

I new to gentoo and I have a question. I got the base system installed and xorg /KMS and that is working. However I made some changes to my yaboot.conf file and wanted to apply my changes using ybin -v. However when I try to run the command I get command not found. I do not know what I am missing any help would be awesome! Thanks

Have you installed sys-boot/yaboot? If so, are you running ybin as root?

Did emerge complete successfully? Can you show the result of
"emerge --search yaboot"?

I have done a new Gentoo install on ppc last week, with a recent
stage3, and I have not been able to build/install yaboot.

You could try emerging yaboot again and see if there are errors on the
screen when emerge finishes.



So far, I have been configuring yaboot using ybin from the Gentoo
install live CD, after mounting the gentoo / and /boot under
/mnt/gentoo, but without chrooting.

In this case, you need to specify the path to the configuration file, I
think it is the "-C" option: ybin -v -C /mnt/gentoo/etc/yaboot.conf

One of the ways the ppc handbook shows to configure yaboot uses the
yaboot binaries from the live cd, perhaps that was how you got yaboot
installed and configured?


The problems with yaboot are known,

I used the live CD to get configured and just used it to apply my changes. I will run it again after I get DE going. I just finished installing XFCE and lightdm and verified they working.
