is there any way I can boot the CD through yaboot? I'm not familiar with
this program. I googled about it and I found out I can type something like:

cd:1,/boot/yaboot

but that doesn't work for me. I guess it has something to do with the "boot"
directory on the ISO image, but I don't know if I can point to other file
(like /boot/ibmpower).

any other suggestion of how to boot will be appreciated, when the CD doesn't
boot itself. there's a Red Hat already installed on the machine, if it
helps. and I think the floppy drive isn't working, so I can't use it (it
shows input/output errors when I try to access some disks). so my options
are: use yaboot to boot the CD, do a network install (never done it) or use
the existing Linux. any idea?

see you,
