 Ahh, hold on right there. This is likely the cause of your problems.
Before you complain about the quality of the OS/installer, do yourself a
favor and follow these instructions:

http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/installation/guide.shtml

You should create the ext2, boot and swap partitions while installing YDL,
*NOT* with OS X's utility. I'm actually surprised you got as far as you
did without partitioning.

Cheers,

Chris
