Linux not booting

[Ian Silver-Ramp]

        I installed YDL 2.3 on my iMac 266 with 384 and a 40 G hard drive.  
I had to lay my partitions out as follows because of OS X's requirements on 
my computer (needs to be within the first 8 G of the hard drive).  10 MB 
Bootloader,  6 G OS X, 20 GB OS X stuff, 256 MB Linux swap, and the rest 
(except for about 700 Mb unused at the end) was for Linux.  Any way I 
started up my machine and relized that when I pressed L on my keyboard that 
I wouldn't work (it is a third party keyboard, an iKey, and is not 
bootable).  So I used my old Apple one that came with the iMac.  It worked I 
pressed "l" and then return and it said loading kernal…, and it never 
loaded.  After about five minues of nothing I turned off the power and 
booted up.  When the Kernal was supposdly loading I did not hear the hard 
drive spinning also, if that is of any signifigance.  Any help would be much 
appreciated.  Thanks,     Ian Silver-Ramp
