Good news: It boots automatically
Bad news : At end,the install said there was not stuff for booting
automatically from HD this hardware and that I have to boot /boot/vmlinux on
/dev/sda1 whith argument root=/dev/sda1.
I tried from OF boot disk;:/boot/vmlinux root=/dev/sda1 with no success
(return to prompt after accessing HD a little)
May I have to boot yaboot from cd ? and after ??? I should read yaboot man
page, don't I ?
Cheers
Felipe
