Hi,
Conrad yaboot was corrupt and the partition was 9 not
10, but that did not solve all of the problems.
Now yaboot opens and the ramdisk and kernal load, but
the install does not run beyond that. It appears that
it cannot find it. In your directions you had the
basic and rpm folders on the the shared partition, but
I had already partitioned my drive to another install
method and only have the shared drive sized for 32meg
expecting to use the cd. How do I get the install to
recognize the cd or do I have to wipe my drive again
and start all over?
