Hello. I have Mac OS X 10.4 and Gentoo Linux dual-boot with yaboot on my
iBook/G3. Today I accidentally destroyed /dev/hda2, the Mac OS boot
partition, by using:
# mke2fs /dev/hda2
Is there a way to recover? If Mac OS X boot partition is pretty
standard, I guess I should be able to recover just by asking someone in
the mailing list to send an image of that partition and recover the
image. The following is my partition layout
zhangweiwu@esmeralda:~$ sudo mac-fdisk -l /dev/hda
