I'll look at that after I get this system going again. Thanks.

ummm about reconfiguring yaboot?? How does one do that when you are in a 
shell from booting from an install CD? I have booted from a CD and have 
mounted my system with "mount /dev/hda11 /mnt" so I can now see and 
probably edit /etc/yaboot.conf
Then I gather you run ybin but what parameters to give to ybin to tell 
it to install to /dev/hda???
Normally I would just run ybin from a normally booted system.
(I dont have a man ybin on the CD booted system)

Hopefully someone will know why this "openpic exit" error is and how to 
fix it.

Thanks Clive.
