but if you want to be adventurous i can send you instructions on how
to build a bootable CD, though you will have to make the iso image on
a linux box for it to work.  

i rolled my own newworld bootable CD with just the base system tarball
on it so i could test the new boot floppies on a scrap disk i have, it
installed quite nicely, use the root images from 2.2.12 and you will
have what you need to make the system bootable (ybin and yaboot are on
the root image)
