G'Day All
First I would like to thank Jonathan Bertsch for the suggestions.
Everything now boots how I like it.
Changing the Open Firmware setting did not fix my problem. However, after
changing yaboot.conf problem solved. I have not narrower it down to which
change in yaboot.conf fixed the problem, because I made the all of the
suggested changes.
When I find out I will pass it on.
My yaboot config now looks like this, without comments:
> init-message="\nWelcome to Yellow Dog Linux!\nHit <TAB> for boot
> options.\n\n"
> timeout = 50 # changed time-out to timeout
> default = linux # added this line
>
> image = hd:9,vmlinux
> label = linux
> root = /dev/hda11
>
Spaces have also been added around the "=" too.
I also changed Open Firmware to the following:
setenv boot-device hd:yaboot # removed the "," after the ":"
setenv boot-command boot
Thank You for your time
