Since the CD just hangs when installing from it, I've copied the YellowDog
directory to my MacOS9 HFS (not HFS+) partion (/dev/hda9; hd:9). Well, in
the install program, when I select the drive, /dev/hda9 and leave the
directory a / and it says the mount failed. Now I try /dev/hda10 as just /
and it fails with invalid arguements. Suggestions?

I'm not new to linux (been in slackware on x86 for over 2 years), just new
to linux on powerpc. Hell, this is my first mac and it's not even a month
old.
