I followed the handbook explicitly. I did not make a /boot partition. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
After compiling the kernel, I copied it to /boot/kernel-2.6.7. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Yabootconfig complained that /boot/kernel-2.6.7 w3as not a valid path, nor /usr/src/linux/vmlinux, nor usr/src/full kernel-name/vmlinux. |

I made a manual yaboot.conf file following the example in the handbook and ran mkofboot -v. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
mkmofboot asked if I wanted the bootstrap partition to be a HFS filesystem -- I said Yes. |

When I get home this evening, I will try to boot again and send the last 5 or 6 lines before the freeze. |

Further research into the details of yaboot seem to indicate that perhaps yaboot is working. Perhaps the problem is in the kernel or something. |

Do I need to copy vmlinux to the root directory so that the path would be /vmlinux? |
