Hi,

I try to install YDL 1.1 on my G3 B&W 300 Mhz and I have some problems.

Configuration:

G3 B&W 300 Mhz
Mac OS 9
128 megs of real RAM
BootX 1.1.3
vmlinux and ramimage.gz dated from July 31th 1999
Two HD: one is a Quantum FireBall EX (slave), the other is Quantum
FireBall.lct (master)

I try to install YDL on the FireBall.lct HD, I created the partitions with
Drive Setup 1.8.1 (root and swap partitions).

When the installer start, I see this message:

ide0 not responding

but it see the ide1 (CD-ROM) interface. After, the main installer interface
starts but I cannot type Enter (or any other keys) on Ok :-/ I'm using the
Apple USB keyboard, plugged directly on the G3.

Any ideas ?
