is there any way I can boot the CD through yaboot? I'm not familiar with |
2 |
this program. I googled about it and I found out I can type something like: |
3 |
|
4 |
cd:1,/boot/yaboot |
5 |
|
6 |
but that doesn't work for me. I guess it has something to do with the "boot" |
7 |
directory on the ISO image, but I don't know if I can point to other file |
8 |
(like /boot/ibmpower). |

|
10 |
any other suggestion of how to boot will be appreciated, when the CD doesn't |
11 |
boot itself. there's a Red Hat already installed on the machine, if it |
12 |
helps. and I think the floppy drive isn't working, so I can't use it (it |
13 |
shows input/output errors when I try to access some disks). so my options |
14 |
are: use yaboot to boot the CD, do a network install (never done it) or use |
15 |
the existing Linux. any idea? |

see you, |
