- <title>Partitioning the USB stick</title>
-<para>
-
-Most USB sticks do not come pre-configured in such a way that Open
-Firmware can boot from them, so you will need to repartition the stick.
-On Mac systems, run
-<userinput>mac-fdisk /dev/<replaceable>sdX</replaceable></userinput>,
-initialise a new partition map using the <userinput>i</userinput>
-command, and create a new partition of type Apple_Bootstrap using the
-<userinput>C</userinput> command. (Note that the first "partition" will
-always be the partition map itself.) Then type
-
-<informalexample><screen>
-$ hformat /dev/<replaceable>sdX2</replaceable>
-</screen></informalexample>
-
-Take care that you use the correct device name for your USB stick. The
-<command>hformat</command> command is contained in the
-<classname>hfsutils</classname> &debian; package.
-
-</para><para>
-
-In order to start the kernel after booting from the USB stick, we will
-put a boot loader on the stick. The <command>yaboot</command> boot
-loader can be installed on an HFS filesystem and can be reconfigured by
-just editing a text file. Any operating system which supports the HFS
-file system can be used to make changes to the configuration of the boot
-loader.
-
-</para><para>
-
-The normal <command>ybin</command> tool that comes with
-<command>yaboot</command> does not yet understand USB storage devices,
-so you will have to install <command>yaboot</command> by hand using the
-<classname>hfsutils</classname> tools. Type
-
-<informalexample><screen>
-$ hmount /dev/<replaceable>sdX2</replaceable>
-$ hcopy -r /usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot :
-$ hattrib -c UNIX -t tbxi :yaboot
-$ hattrib -b :
-$ humount
-</screen></informalexample>
-
-Again, take care that you use the correct device name. The partition
-must not be otherwise mounted during this procedure. This procedure
-writes the boot loader to the partition, and uses the HFS utilities to
-mark it in such a way that Open Firmware will boot it. Having done this,
-the rest of the USB stick may be prepared using the normal Unix
-utilities.

-Mount the partition
-(<userinput>mount /dev/<replaceable>sdX2</replaceable> /mnt</userinput>)

-The <filename>yaboot.conf</filename> configuration file should

-Please note that the <userinput>initrd-size</userinput> parameter
-may need to be increased, depending on the image you are booting.

-
-If you used an <filename>hd-media</filename> image, you should now copy a
-&debian; ISO image (businesscard, netinst or full CD image; be sure to select
-one that fits) onto the stick. When you are done, unmount the USB memory
-stick (<userinput>umount /mnt</userinput>).
