install woes on a g4 sawtooth (phase 2)

[Ken Simpson]

Thanks Dan, it was interesting what I worked out in the end. Your 
help was almost right.

What was happening, was that I was specifying a mount point of /boot 
for the bootloader.

When I didn't specify the mountpoint - it all installed like a charm. 
Got it up and running very quickly.

However there are still 2 problems.

1. I can't use yup. apt-get says I have the latest yup installed, but 
if I type yup - it says command not found. Locate returns a path to 
it, but the path is non-existent.

2. I made a small error in the yboot config at install. So to fix it, 
I edited the /etc/yaboot.conf file and then ran /usr/sbin/ybin and it 
said it couldn't do it because a volume was mounted.

can you help with a way through either of these problems?

Thanks
