Thanks for the input. You say press TAB. If you look at the link to the
image of my computer screen a gave http://arri.spymac.net/boot.gif you will
see that my only option is "linux" after I press TAB. If I try anything ells
it always says No such file or directory.

Did I do anything wrong when I installed for there only to be one option in
the yaboot?
