I believe that the problem is yaboot isn't looking at the right device. I
have never ran linux on a Mac before, and I am not all the familiar with
Mac hardware. I can boot from the cd on my powerbook. So, I know it is not
a problem with the cd. Could someone atleast give me a link to where I
could find the possible devices yaboot could use in a G3 blue & white. I
have included the exact error message:
/pci@80000000/pcibridge@d/mac-io@5/ata-3@20000/disk@0:2,yaboot.conf
Can't open config file
Thanks,
