Can you please tell us _exactly_ what is written on your screen, how you
configured Penguin and how often you read the macinstall.txt? 
Did you use a CD for installation or did you download macinstall.tgz, if,
did you unpack it correctly (with the right software)?

I hope you don't mind adding your questions and answers to the potato FAQ.
So please somebody give a good explanation for whats wrong.
