Salutations,
I have the answer, I use a 366SE iBook, & you will use Yaboot.
1. print this email out 2. Back up all data. 3. Install iBook Restore CD &
RESTART holding C-key down. 4. From CD Utilities pick DRIVE SETUP -
FUNCTIONS- INITIALZATION OPTIONS.
Check Low level format, & Zero all data. Click Mac HD, Initialize - CUSTOM
SETUP- 1 partition- ok- Initialize.
Now DRIVE SETUP- unclick Mac HD- FUNCTIONS- INITIALZATION OPTIONS- unclick
Low level format, & Zero all data- ok
FUNCTIONS- TEST DISK.
Now DRIVE SETUP- Initialize - CUSTOM SETUP- 3 partitions
[ 1- MAC EXTENDED ??GB 2- A/UX ROOT 2GB or so 3- A/UX SWAP 128MB MAX! must
equal total if hard drive when you add all 3.]
OK- INITIALIZE
Now back out to iBook Restore CD- APPLE SOFTWARE RESTORE- CLICK
ERASE- RESTORE.
Now setup iBook.
RESTART
Install YDL(YellowDogLinux) CD- click on cd image.
From the Install Folder INSATLL: RAMDISK.IMAGE.GZ, YABOOT, VMLINUX, &
{YABOOT.CONF, BOOTSCRIPT (from email or @
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/faq_solutions.shtml or
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/bootfiles/)}
RESTART C-KEY DOWN- follow YDL setup.
iBook needs to be installed as LINUX-NOVIDEO.
Hints** ROOT ( / ), AUTHENTICATION CONFIG. CHECK USE SHADOW PASSWORDS.
Enjoy the show.
After YDL is done RESTART & HOLD DOWN THE APPLE(COMMAND), OPTION, O, F KEYS
Once in Firmware TYPE in lower-case!!
setenv boot-devicehd:,\\bootscript hit RETURN key
boot hit RETURN key
RESTART while holding down the SPACEBAR after tone to boot into LINUX.
GOOD LUCK
