Can't boot from 2.2r3 CD
No, I haven't seen anything about this on the list, and I can't
find anything in the mailing list archives either.
I have a G4 AGP Powermac; I downloaded the first binary powerpc
image, and the MD5 checksum matches; I burned it to disk with
Toast with no errors reported. When I boot off this CD, I get a
gray screen for a long time; I can hear the DVD chug a bit at the
beginning, then nothing. After a while, the screen flashes black
for an instant, then white, then my monitor goes black and says
"Frequency over range". On the 2.2r2 disks, there was a yaboot
prompt where I could tell it "video=ofonly"; I think that may be
that black flash on this sequence.
How the hell do I boot off this thing? Any ideas, or do I have to
use this CD for a coaster and go back to 2.2r2 again?
