Justin,    Tim's post is a useful correction on my previous post: On 
re-reading your original post it is apparent that you do get an initial 
yaboot boot prompt. If that is the case, then my suggestion of starting 
by booting from the install CD is superfluous (though you might keep it 
in mind as a "rescue mode" in dire circumstances). Do as he 
suggests--enter "linux  single" at the boot prompt & continue as per my 
earlier post.    Good luck.    --Harvey
