 |
|
Hello,
I am installing Gentoo on my iMac G4. I have the system build, execpt I cannot get the bootloader to work. When I restart the computer, I the yaboot menu asking if I want linux or Mac OSX. Whichever one I choose, I get a blue window, and nothing happens. What have I done wrong? |

I would recommend you to take a closer look to the yaboot handbook section
For reference, here is my yaboot.conf
hope that helps a bit further
