It's a bit complicated. You need to press and hold Alt and Ctrl, then press and also hold Fn, then finally press F2 on top of all that. For a long-time Mac user, that's an easy exercise, what with all the PRAM zapping and OF entering and all that. > 3 - during the debian installer stage, i needed to use install-safe > as none of the other options would work. this meant i had to install > with a 2.4 kernel. i suspect i know what the problem is... as when i > tried to install the 2.6 kernel i got an error about initrd and then > the kernel did not boot up the next time. can yaboot handle initrd? Yes it can. Just add a line initrd=/initrd.img to /etc/yaboot.conf and re-run ybin. And make sure you actually create that initrd image, of course. Regards, Jens. -- J'qbpbe, le m'en fquz pe j'qbpbe!
