boot: linux single

<excerpt>Did I do anything wrong when I installed for there only to be
one option in

the yaboot?

Nope, all is how it should be.

</excerpt>

The screen still goes black after I have typed "linux single" Maybe it
is

working, but I cant see. It only works when there are no video
settings set

in the root.  When I do set the video, I cant get back in to change the

"ati" to " fbdev"

Try this:

boot: linux video=3Daty128fb:noaccel,1024x768

Which sould give you a pretty plain-jane 640x480 @60Hz display, which

most any VGA capable monitor can handle.

You can tack the 'single' on the end, if you want to try this from
single-user

mode.

boot: linux single video=3Daty128fb:noaccel,1024x768

</excerpt>No luck Mike. Still does not work. Mike
