Thanks for your help so far but I'm still a bit stuck. Ethan Benson wrote:

Here's the yaboot.conf file: device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: partition=0 timeout=1 default=linux image = vmlinux-nfs label = linux # root = /dev/hda2 append = "console=ttyS0,9600 rw ip=on" initrd=root.bin initrd-size=8192 If I comment out the initrd and initrd-size lines then the thing will boot but when I try to boot with the file looking like this I get: <snip> Elf32 kernel loaded... Loading ramdisk... dev_path = /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED] file_name = root.bin partition = 0 dev_phandle = 001aa12c device is a network device of_net_open(dev:/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED], part: 0x00000000, name:root.bin -> prom_open</[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0,root.bin>... -> 001a5d84 Can't claim memory for TFTP download Ramdisk image not found. ramdisk load failed ! Any ideas? Thanks, Andy
