Okay. Here's the deal.
I've got a G3-Lombard PowerBook that I'm trying to put YellowDog on. The
main problem arises in that I can't get the CD to boot- the folder needs to
be blessed. I want to wipe out the Mac OS and just run fully YellowDog.
How do I do that since the CD won't boot? Is it possible?
Oh, I also accidently moved the ROM file around (don't ask) and so now I
can't get into the OS... any advice on how to get past that problem?
I bought the PowerBook on eBay a while back, so I don't have any system
disks. Also, my only access to a burner is with my Windows machine- hence
the main problem making the CD bootable in Mac.
Does anyone have any ideas or help? I guess my basic questions are, is
there any way I can start the YellowDog installation (with no worries about
saving the Mac partitions) without having a bootable CD or make that CD
Mac-bootable under Windows?
Thanks,
