1 ...been away from the ppc for a while, now i'm trying to,
2 once again, get gentoo running.
3
4 the new .iso works wonderfully. everything went well.
5
6 but after modifying my /etc/yaboot.conf file, which looks ok,
7 i can't seem to run ybin successfully. can anyone interpret
8 these messages? do you know why i'm getting them?

24 here's my yaboot.conf file (changing things here doesn't seem to affect the error much):

28 device=hd:
29 partition=12
30 delay=5
