While partitioning iMac, accidently initialized partition table wiping
1GB HFS partition with MacOS, BootX and yaboot. Linux installed fine in
remaining 5GB partition, but can't boot, nor eject CD-ROM. Does anyone
have
a suggestion to get Yellowdog boot CD-ROM out of CD-ROM drive? I've
already taken iMac apart in an attempt to find a switch to eject CD-ROM
mechanically, thought about removing CD-ROM drive completely. Too much
awkward hardware blocking drive, looking for other solutions. Any ideas
would be much appreciated. All machine does now is try to re-install
Linux, every time it boots...pardon if message gets duplicated...
Thanks in advance,
