Hi !

I got a problem which looks similar, when I first join this ML.
You can find my thread in the archives (july 2003) on YDL web site.

I remember that during install, YDL hadn't written any settings on my 
HD, no root password, no network settings, no account... and also no 
yaboot
I was unable to boot linux

I resetted open firmware, changed it as said in how to.
Then launch YDL manually from here, and then launch yaboot again under 
root to make it write correctly on bootstrap.
I don't remember exactly what I've done, and to be honest  I didn't 
understand everything I did. Read my previous thread and maybe you'll 
find some hints...
