Problem with yabootconfig

[Soetji Anto]

I tried:
yabootconfig -r /dev/hda11 -b /dev/hda13 -t /mnt/sysimage

and got this:
id: unknown group name: 0
/mnt/sysimage/sbin/yabootconfig: line 455: [: != unary operator expected
Install yaboot bootstrap on /dev/hda13 to boot from Linux from /dev/hda11? [Yes]
Creating a simple /mnt/sysimage/etc/yaboot.conf
yabootconfig: Cannot find a kernel, please locate one
Enter path to a kernet image:

When I entered "/boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img" I got "No such file or directory"
Then I entered "/mtn/sysimage/boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img" I got:
yabootconfig: Unable to determine OpenFirmware device name to /dev/hda, aborting...

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Soetji
