I had a user come into #gentoo-ppc a week or two ago with one of the new AlBooks with the same thing. Apparently with the fact that they can no longer boot < OS X doesn't like yaboot. Although he couldn't get Linux up and running, as the ethernet driver wasn't working, and the user didn't have the Linux experience needed for such a hack anyways, he did manage to get the thing booted off the CD by specifying a custom boot file in OF. I suggest you mess with this, as there may be some cheap-hack way to get Linux installed, and it's not like you ever have to reboot or anything :) . Also, maybe a netboot? |
