Dear list,
Would like to enlist some assistance with an install on an IBM 9112-265 
Intellistation.
Have followed the liveCD install without many problems.
Have gotten to the yaboot configuration and attempted to configure and 
have dd'd the kernel file rev 32r7 to the sda1 1meg partition.
Upon reboot the system fails to find the kernel file and boot.

When I have rebooted on the liveCD again and recieved the prompt to work 
with i have attempted to try and mount the sda3 root partition from the 
original install. I presume because there is only the LiveCD /etc/fstab 
with tempfs entries in it  i cannot mount my real root partition and the 
system knows nothing of the original parttitioned disk from the install.

Could someone direct me on what action to take to mount the original 
partitions such that i can edit the yaboot config file and achieve a 
successful boot from scsi disk.
or 
can someone please instruct on how to set up yaboot config correctly such 
that i can reinstall the lot and get the bootloader correct.

Thanks in advance.

JCrittall
