Norberto,
I previously had used the automatic partition feature to set up the
disk as a Linux only system. Since I couldn't get that to work I went
back and used Disk Druid as per the "Companion to Installing" to set up
the boot, root, and swap partitions. I still get the question mark
folder on reboot at the end of installation. Using rescue I gathered
the following information:
pdisk shows:
Partition Map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/hda'
#: type name length base ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_Bootstrap*untitled 2048 @ 64 ( 1.0M)
3: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 393120 @ 2112 (192.0M)
4: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled 12199632 @ 395328 ( 5.8G)

2: 33 @ 128, type=0xf8ff
fstab shows:
/dev/hda4 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
I don't have any /etc/yaboot.conf , I assume because I only have one
system to boot. I am thinking there should be a "/dev/hda2 boot" line
in the fstab file, no?
I am stumped :-(
