I got this : 

[root at localhost root]# /sbin/ybin -v
ybin: Finding OpenFirmware device path to `/dev/hda2'...
ybin: Installing first stage bootstrap /usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot onto
/dev/hda2...
ybin: Installing primary bootstrap /usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot onto

ybin: Installing /etc/yaboot.conf onto /dev/hda2...

So should I try the blasted CDs yet again??

Btw, is that line "Blessing /dev/hda2 with Holy Penguin Pee..." a form of
