Booting G5?

[Ian Marlier]

When trying to boot my G5 2G-DP into YDL (using the iso's from ydl.net) I
keep getting errors related to "swapper"

More to come, but here's a brief....

I type "install" at the yaboot menu, then the boot screen comes up, with
kernel commands and such scrolling by...this is what I get:

At this point, the fans spin up to 100% and nothing else seems to
happen...the screen just sits at this point....,

Thoughts?

Suggestions?
