Hi there,

        I am trying to install yellowdog 1.2 on an older mac 7600. I have
an internal SCSI drive set at 0 and terminated (MESH SCSI controller,
btw). I've partitioned the drive with a 200mb macOS partiton to have the
system on it. I'm using the bootx app control panel that I downloaded
from yellowdog's site.
        When I start the install, I use fdisk to partition the drive,
(with swap,/,/usr/and /home) and I get the error that I need to
reboot for the new partitioning to take effect. When I do, however, the
installer no longer recognises the drive! I have tried over and over,
with different partitioning schemes, and each time it is exactly the same.
        What is going on? The drive is a quantum fireball.

Any help would be greatly appreceated, as I am pulling my hair out in
large patches each time I reboot ;)

Thanks

-Ivan
