Thanks for the info G++ (Gav)
I've been using the manual from
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/solutions/ydl_2.3/rage.shtml
Looking at the address it says ydl_2.3. I did read some ware that there
was no problem with YDL 3.0 but when they installed 3.0.1 they
had the same problem. They asked in here=B9 but he never got a RE: I did emai=
l
him=20
hoping he found away around this.
It says
First, boot using the linux-novideo option in the yaboot boot menu. Once
you login,=20
su to root and open yaboot.conf with a text editor.
su [ENTER]
(enter root password) and it goes on
=20
When I press [TAB] to get the yaboot boot menu the only option I have
is =B3linux=B2 that=B9s all. No =B3linux-novideo=B2 and so on
I tried =B3install rescue=B2 from the CD and it said Unable to open file,
Invalid device.
I=B9m going to download YDL 3.0 to see if same happens
