Hi. I solved my yaboot problem (had to put image = hd:9,/boot/vmlinux in
yaboot.conf, nothing else would work.)
Now I have 2 other problems. One is that if I have my cdrom writer plugged in,
the system panics and won't boot (its USB.) Which is strange that it boots fine
if its plugged in. But the more important one is video.
I've got an Imac DV 400 mhz. When I first installed it, I tried the recommended
video settings and while startx worked, the icons were huge and everything had
lines across it and it looked weird. So I went and found this page:
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/faq_solutions.shtml
and followed its suggestions on downloading a new X, installing it, and doing some
other stuff. Now I get the following lines when I try to do an init 5 to get X.
