is there any way I can boot the CD through yaboot? I'm not familiar with this program. I googled about it and I found out I can type something like:<br><br>cd:1,/boot/yaboot<br><br>but that doesn't work for me. I guess it has something to do with the "boot" directory on the ISO image, but I don't know if I can point to other file (like /boot/ibmpower).<br>
<br>any other suggestion of how to boot will be appreciated, when the CD doesn't boot itself. there's a Red Hat already installed on the machine, if it helps. and I think the floppy drive isn't working, so I can't use it (it shows input/output errors when I try to access some disks). so my options are: use yaboot to boot the CD, do a network install (never done it) or use the existing Linux. any idea?<br>
