Well, thanks to Ethan's advice, I was able to reboot using the CD and yaboot from the MacOS partition (that's not too risky, is it?), copy the device files from /dev to the mounted root file system, and from there I was able to run MAKEDEV once I was sort-of up and running (which should regularize /dev, right?)
A couple problems I'm having: * I don't currently have a /dev/xconsole. * http://ppclinux.apple.com/~benh still doesn't work. * Using Hadess' XF86Config, X still doesn't work. Although this crash is much more interesting. The screen blanks, and there's a horizontal line, and it gradually changes brightness. control-alt-delete doesn't seem to abort X when that happens. I'm about to try it again after removing enlightenment. It still happened. * Hadess has the mouse going to /dev/usbmouse. Should this be a symlink to /dev/input/mice? * I made audio, but I don't know if sound works yet. wavp doesn't seem to be working. * How much would I benefit from trying to compile my own kernel, as opposed to continuing to use 2.2.18pre17-benh? I think I'm going to wrap it up, and go home now. Is it possible I'm missing something in /dev that could be causing the X crashes? Thanks a lot for the help y'all have already given; I don't think I'd have gotten to the point of having it lock up if y'all hadn't. (Hey, it's at least progress :-) Phil [EMAIL PROTECTED]
