Installing 4.0 on Xserve G5

[Cian Duffy]

I thought the normal version of YDL *did* run on XServe G5, it just
didn't run as well as Y-HPC. The HCL *seems* to imply that the base
system is supported, but not hotswapping drives, headless booting, and
some other stuff

Anyway, what he's having is an X problem, so if he attempts an
install-text or whatever that boot option is called. There are
warnings for some machines here:

To do with video not being available on some XServes. As he's trying
to use Anaconda, which uses X, its not going to install like that...
