I had to start from the CD a couple of times when I was having yaboot
troubles. I just used the following (stolen from the YDL book Engineer's
Notes):
After install, reboot and hold the "c" key. Once you get to boot options,
type the following:
cd-linux root=/dev/<linux root partition>
(where <linux root partition> may be, for example, hda7 or sda6, but
without the < and >)
...and that worked fine for me.
Cheers,
Andy
