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, On Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 3:42 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, 6 Sep 2009, Crístian Viana wrote: > > I tried install-powerpc-minimal-2008.0, it didn't work too.
