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! |
