hello all

i've performed linux installations on both powermac and pcs but i must 
say i'm quite confused for now...

here is my problem :
i've eventually been through the install successfully (better have your 
cd drive on the proper channel !) but when it was time for the computer 
to boot into the freshly installed mandrake linux 8.2 beta 2, i had a 
black screen just after the install quits.

can i use bootx to boot in 8.2 ?
i understand i need a kernel and setting boot device. where can i get 
the good kernel ? how can i tell the partition device name (let's say 
it's partition 6 from the only SCSI disk in my machine (ID 0)) ? once i 
have the name, how do i tell bootx to boot that partition ???


thanks for your attention

jean-marie
