Hello. I am truly a Linux newbie trying to get through a YDL 2.2 install. =
My goal is a triple-boot system (OS 9, OS X, and YDL 2.2).
I have several issues/problems:
First, during the Overall Progress portion of the install I noticed =
several messages appear on-screen.
/proc empty (not mounted?)
find: /var/lib/nfs: No such file or directory
What do these references mean? I purchased the install disks from YDL, is =
there a problem with them?
Next, when the install asked if I wanted to install the ybin bootloader =
and I answered "YES." The install failed with a message about the install =
being unstable. I re-installed the entire package again (along with a =
full re-partitioning of my hard drive) and then answered "NO" to the ybin =
question, which let me proceed to a root password and networking questions,=
etc. The installation finished successfully according to the YDL 2.2 =
graphical installer but I always boot directly into OS X.
How do I get yaboot working correctly?
I am able to boot into YDL (text-only) using the Tasty Morsels CD. I do =
notice that during the initialization ntpd [FAILED] appears. What is this =
message?
I am not able to run X, whenever I type startx it fails.
Also, I tried to run /usr/sbin/ybin
and I got the message ybin: /usr/local/lib/yaboot/yaboot: No such file or =
directory
ybin: /usr/local/lib/yaboot/ofboot: No such file or directory
I am endlessly grateful to anyone who can offer some assistance. Thank =
you in advance.
