iBook Installation Failure

Fri Jan 3 17:51:00 2003

First of all the mac hd should be hfs+ or mac os
extended and should be the first disk. After you
re-partition then follow the installation manual's
instructions. It is essential that the mac hard
drive is extended and is first and that the
unallocated one is second, and unallocated :)
