Greetings,

I suspect this is my own lack of knowledge here, so please be forgiving of a newbie if so.

This is the first snapshot I've ever attempted to install (I've just installed off the RELEASE CDs before this), on a iMac G4 17". Right after the dmesg (the last line is the rootdev=... line) I get:

warning: /dev/console does not exist
init: not found
panic: no init

The machine boots 3.7-RELEASE successfully, so I suspect I may not understand how the whole snapshot thing works. If so, any advice will be appreciated.
