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
Stopped at: Debugger+0x10: lwz^^8 r0,20(r1)

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.
