Hi,
I tried to install Yellow Dog Linux 4.1 on a Blue-and-White G3 with 8GB
of SCSI drive. YDL was the only OS installed, and I used automatic
partitioning. The list of partitions follows :-
Partition # Size MB Mount point
=========== ======= ===========
1 1 Apple bootstrap
2 7168 /
3 1024 Swap
4 100 /boot
The package selection was the default server installation. Upon the
first boot, it failed to use "yaboot" to Linux partition, and showed a
mon prompt (i.e. a "?" followed by a Mac Mon). After 10-15 seconds, the
screen ran a list of errors, e.g. DEFAULT CATCH ! .....
I am new to Yellow Dog Linux and PPC. I hope someone could help me how
to fix the installation and boot to Linux.
Thanks a lot.
John Mok
