Paul, Thanks for your response. I will check that, but, unfortunately, I believe I looked for that file at one time, too, and it's not there either. Do these files get created by the installation process and might that have failed to happen? If so, how do I get back to that process and rectify

It turns out that for this drive, you need to pass the hard drive geometry explicitly to the kernel. If you're booting from CD, restart holding Command-Option-O-F, and type boot:cd,\\yaboot to get the boot: prompt. In this case the arguments were: linux hda=16383,2,63 root=/dev/hda13
