Re: Cube installation boot problems
On Tue, 13 Feb 2001, I noted a boot problem with the G4 Cube:
>With either of the yaboot commands, Debian tries to boot but I get the

The last messages seen are in fact:
Calling QUIESCE...
DO-QUIESCE finishedbooting..
I have now fixed the problem (which I found several other Cube users were
having.
I was using the Apple 17" Display (not the LCD, but the new CRT). I
removed this, and hooked up a regular old monitor using the supplied
converter. The Cube now boots (with the OF command boot cd:\\yaboot).
Thanks to all the people who responded and helped track this problem down.
