installing woody on G4 Cube



Hey all,

I'm having a strange problem trying to get woody on my G4 Cube.
Googling and searching the list archives hasn't helped so far.

I had been dual-booting debian and OS X w/ yaboot before my HD died.
I've since replaced the HD and tossed Jaguar on it.

When I boot from the woody cd (same one I used before), it boots
fine. I get a boot: prompt, and choose install. After that, however,
the screen turns white w/ small black text ala OpenFirmware, and I
get three lines reading (something like):

- reading OF device tree..
- calling quiesce..
- booting..

after it displays the "booting" line -- the thing just hangs. I can
hear my HD spin down and the system sits there doing nothing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ryan
