I'm stuck on the same place. The problem right now is I can't boot from the cdrom.
I have a blue&white g3 (450) and I can't get it to boot of the cd. I have 'boot of cd' and 'boot of of' on the yaboot menu, but apparently yaboot can't reach my cd? I tried booting directly to OF (cmd+apl+O+F) and typing from there all I could imagine: boot cd:\\yaboot boot cd:,\\yaboot boot cd:2,\\yaboot boot cd:install\powermac\yaboot boot cd:install\powermac\vmlinux boot cd:,install\powermac\yaboot boot cd:,install\powermac\vmlinux boot cd:2,install\powermac\yaboot boot cd:2,install\powermac\vmlinux and none of it worked... Usually I get sent back to the OF screen, and the 3 first ones land me on the yaboot menu of my broken debian install. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Of course I also tried booting of the cd while pressing 'c', but it doesn't work Benja On Sat Jul 12, 2003 at 04:54:35PM +0100 or thereabouts, Joss Winn wrote: > Thanks.
