Hi, I am trying to install yellow dog on a G3 Blue and White.
I know I must use yaboot. So I did all that the manual said I shoud do to
boot with yaboot in order to install.
But I can-t get it to boot!!! I always get a 1 wrong partition signature
error or yaboot can'f find the kernel iamge.
I am using the YDL CS 1.2.1 ISO with a CORRECT yaboot.conf file.
I still can-t get it to boot.
HELP PLEASE!!!!
 

Greetings,
Here this will help. There is bug in the bootscript, & yaboot.conf, use the
attachments.
Also load vmlinux, yaboot, ramdisk.image.gz.
After you back up all your data, & reformatt your hard drive, Low level,&
zero it via drive setup f ( functions- Initialization options) off the
software restore cd by holding down C key @ start up.
Once you do this take off the Initialization options under functions.
Then Customize Volumes- 3 parts[ 1 Mac HD, 2 root (/)space..2 GB or more, 3
swap..128MB Max]
Load Mac OS & then add all to system floder. Run Disk first aid for saftey
check.
Now too load YDL check insert cd & restart while holding down the C key.
It tell you too hit TAB & then ENTER. It may give an error mesg. @ first so
wait.
Then it kicks off, Good luck....
PS
After do not forget too restart & hold down the COMMAND(apple)
-option-O-F keys for a dual boot script.
{ setenv boot-device hd:,\\bootscript} Enter.. {boot} Enter..
@ restart hold down spacebar too boot linux.
