Steps needed: - boot in expert mode - follow everything step by step - for another reason yaboot did not install, so I continued without it. - Before finishing the installation, execute a shell. - nano /target/etc/mkinird/modules and add ieee1394, ohci1394, scsi_mod, sbp2, sd_mod, and ext3 - nano /target/etc/mkinird/mkinitrd.conf and add DELAY=10 (3 seconds might be sufficient, but this is what currently works) - chroot /target - mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-<version> - exit the shell(s) and finish. The system now boots at last. A final remark, in the used /target/etc/mkinird/mkinitrd.conf BUSYBOX was set to "no". Currently I am fighting keymap problems (it seems that none of the supllied keymaps allows ALT-Fx console switching), but that will be a separated bug report. Bye, Joerg
