date 09.01.01

1. problem: hang on install. apparent missing file
2. experience: Mac-heavy user exper., Linux-zero experience
3. system: Performa 6400, stock 1.6G Quantum Fireball, Matrox graphics,
32Mb ram

Details: downloaded files burned to CD
            partitioned drive 200Mb Mac/1.4Gb Yellow Dog
            MacOS 9.04 installed (also tried 7.6)
            BootX comes up strong and flies through the installation
till
            item 107 or 108 (of the 114 items being installed) then
stops
            alert shows missing file (unnamed) and installation ends
            on reboot the Linux stuff loads partly, then hangs at VFS
            "Unable to mount Root FS on 08:01
            "...bread failed dev=08:01

Questions: 1) which is the problem file/folder that needs
                  to be replaced? 2) Do I need a larger Mac partition
                  for any Linux files being installed there? -Thanks
