linux on mac

Ok, the docs were not clear about which file to set to which location.

I am not getting the Wrong magic number error any more. It is actually 
doing something now. The problem is that it ends up locking up after just a 
few steps.

Here is what I am getting before it locks up:

Booting Linux (fasten seat belts, please).....
slot_int_set: slot 0x0D, drvr_refnum -49, spID 0x83, spExtDev 0x00, ON 0
Error -17 slot_int_set for slot 0x0D
slot_int_set: slot 0x0E, drvr_refnum -58, spID 0x80, spExtDev 0x00, ON 0
Error -17 slot_int_set for slot 0x0E
Warning: 2 errors(s) while turning OFF slot interrupts...booting anyway!
Killing SONIC ethernet...  done.

The top part of the screen then starts to be painted white and then it 
locks. Nothing happens after that.

I have an Ethernet card in the slot closest to the bottom of the case (I 
think that is slot 1 or 0x0D) and a Radius video card in the other slot. I 
am going to try taking out the Radius card and see if that works. I will 
then try taking out the Ethernet card and see if that works.

If I do have to take out both cards, how am I going to get the Ethernet 
installed? I can do without the video card, but I will need the Ethernet card.
