I have YDL installed on a bw G3. My internal ATA drive is partitioned with
1Gb for MacOS 9.1 and the rest (5GB) for Linux (root is on partition 7, swap
on 8 and usr on 9) - in my MacOS system folder I have : bootscript,
Yaboot.conf , Yaboot and VMLinux.
When I try to boot into Linux using Yaboot I get the following message :
WARNING default_read called
not a valid ELF image
WARNING default_close called

My Yaboot.conf file contains the following :

init-message = "\nWelcome to Yellow Dog Linux!\nHit <TAB> for boot
options.\n\n"
timeout = 150
default = linux
image = hd:,\\\\vmlinux
   label = linux
   root = /dev/hda7
   initrd = cd:,\\\\ramdisk.image.gz
   novideo

Any help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks

JB
