11 Thanks to Michael and Nathan for your help so far. I've
12 tried /dev/hda,c and e as being root upon rebooting, and every time I
13 get a kernel panic. I'm not totally sure why, but I've been looking
14 into the config to make sure I have things enabled properly (already
15 found that I hadn't put support for my IDE interface, but that wasn't
16 the only problem) Any other gotchas? I'm completely new to the Mac
17 hardware, so this is kind of bewildering to me!
