Problems booting for the first time, Titanium PowerBook



Hopefully I don't iterate things that have been said already.

I've installed 2.2.r5 from the net, following the appropriate instructions. In order to be albe to install to begin with, I remember adding 'novideo' to yaboot.conf in the installation files (I downoladed the floppy images).

I then installed debian without problems to a new partition, went very smooth. I also wrote the appropriate files to the bootstraps partition (as per the instruction document), and the systems boots, as it should, with debian by default.

However, I don't see a thing other than a white screen with output containing the words '128' and 'ati'. I don't remember the exact wording, I could look this up if it helps.

So, I suppose I'd have to change the yaboot.conf file in the bootstrap partition, so that I can see what I'm doing. I wouldn't know how to do this, as it isn't mounted to begin with.

Another thing I tried was to configure the yaboot.conf when generated using mkofboot --boot. Didn't work.

Any feedback would be appreciated as I look forward to logging on to my new system and configuring it.

Thanks
