I've successfully installed YDL on my G4 on a secondary HD (fireball 3.2Gb).
This is my partition table:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
HDA8 HSF+ (20Gb)->MacOS 9 partition (primary HD)
HDB9 HSF+ (32Mb)-> used for yaboot and other stuff to boot into YDL
HDB10 A/UX ROOT (1000Mb)->root partition (mount point: /)
HDB11 A/UX SWAP (128Mb)->swap partiton
HDB12 HSF+ (616Mb)
HDB13 HSF+ (1303Mb)->Max OS X Beta1 partition
------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my yaboot.conf:
------------------------------------------------------------------
init-message = "\nWelcome to Yellow Dog Linux!\nHit <TAB> for boot
options.\n\n"
timeout = 150
default = linux
image = hd:9,\\vmlinux
label = linux
root=/dev/hdb10
novideo
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In HDB9 i have a "System Folder" with Finder, MacOS ROM, System,
yaboot.tbxi, vmlinux and yaboot.conf inside. Are these files in the wrong
place?
I tried to start YDL but i get always an error "Image not find", itried also
with the vmlinux file in the root level of HDB9.. but i get always the same
error...
I don't know how to resolve this... i'm trying a lot of combination (image =
hd:8 9 10 11.... root=/dev/hdb9 10 11...) but with no success...
I know that this is a NEWBIE problem.. but... this is my first time on
linux...
