Apologies beforehand, there are a few questions. What is the open firmware command for booting? Mac-boot repeats a bad partition error. Should I have created a /boot partition? Currently, only a base system is installed. Will it be better to use an older release? If you need the system stats, I can post them. It will have to be done through a Linux dmesg output.
