Install: never get past an initial black screen

[Daniel Gimpelevich]

Mea culpa, mea culpa. I used the words "built-in" and "internal" but forgot
to use the word "original." Linux CDs for the Mac are currently packaged in
such a way that you are S.O.L., and the appropriate place to look for and
discuss workarounds is the yaboot-users mailing list on penguinppc.org. Good
luck!
