Help installing YDL on an RS6000 F50

[Matthew Page]

Thanks for the link...  I'm running into a similar problem with these =
instructions that I ran into with the Champion Server instructions.  The =
bootdisk mentioned in the article is for a PREP system and not a CHRP =
system so the boot process fails.

I don't know how to make a CHRP bootdisk.  The images I have found =
online all seem to fail.  Do any of you happen to have a CHRP bootdisk =
for yellowdog that you could email to me?
