Hi All, I am a Mac power user, but at novice at Linux. I have a buddy who is helping, but he's never set up a PPC. We can't seem to get the hard drive to be bootable. We followed the new world YaBoot procedure to no avail. I have the hard disk fully devoted to Linux, with the Apple_Bootstrap as the first partition - it is not mounted.
I was unable to validate that my hardware is fully compatible - at this point I'm wondering if this might be the problem. Power Computing PowerTower Pro with a Newer Tech MaxPower G4 upgrade. The system boots off of the install floppies and the install goes fine up to the hard disk boot step. Two other problems - apparently it is not possible to make a boot floppy from this configuration, I could reinstall the 604 processor card in the machine. My application is low hit Web sites, FTP, DNS, & EMAIL servers, and Mac emulation to run LetterRip Pro, a list server that I have too much effort invested into to switch folks at this juncture to a Linux alternative. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dean
