1 Hi,
2
3 I installed successfully -- a big accomplishment for me! -- but yaboot does
4 not work properly. I get the startup prompt, choose l for linux, and then
5 get the screen for the kernel option. I have only one kernel option, and
6 when I select it, the machine goes into open firmware. I've tried a few
7 yaboot configurations (running ybin afterwords), but I can't get it right.

9 Could someone share a good, simple yaboot.conf script? I'm not installing
10 any other OS. Just Linux. Nothing fancy.
11
12 Also, an even more basic question: where is the kernel image installed? Is
13 it in the boot partition or /boot ? That might help me get yaboot configured
14 properly.
15
16 Thanks again.

20 P.S. For those that were interested in my ethernet connection problem
21 (thanks), I hooked up to a different connection, and everything went well.
