... my kernel died - and most astonishingly I'm not able to start the
installer from cd with
boot: cd:,yaboot
In the last case the kernel starts and dies shortly after with the

openpic: exit
That's what I think is most crazy - am I wrong?

But back to earth -- Thank you both Clive Menzies and Chris Tillman
very much for assistance.
I've to stop now because I've to get up early tomorrow - be back on
sunday - hopefully with success-message.
THX & have a fabulous day
