Hi!
I'm trying to install woody onto a G4 Cube using Ethan's current
preferred method (drop the relevant files on the root of the relevant
volume, craft a yaboot.conf, reboot into OF, etc) using the current
version of boot-floppies. Here is the entirety of my yaboot.conf:
image=linux
label=install
initrd=root.bin
initrd-size=8192
append="video=ofonly"
The command I'm using from OF to boot is
boot hd:,yaboot
and then I type 'install' at the yaboot prompt. I get a 'Loading
ramdisk' message (with something that follows immediately afterwards
too quickly to read), the screen blanks, and then it comes back with a
white OF screen with these words:
... ok
copying OF device tree...done
Calling quiesce ...
DO-QUIESCE finishedbooting...
and hangs.
is this an ibook2 (the ibook that doesn't look like a toilet seat)?
benh reported that 2.2 does this on these machines, and 2.2 isn't
exactly supported on any of apple's new hardware.
we need to add a 2.4 flavor for powerpc boot-floppies.
