My success to date has been extracting yaboot from the rpm file, and copying that, install/vmlinux and install/ramdisk.image.gz onto a small HFS partition on the hard drive.

And hangs. =20 I tried copying the vmlinux and ramdisk-text.image.gz from the YellowDog 2.0 distribution, and these tools will boot, but I can't install from the 1.2 CDROM (the installation scripts are looking for Pomona.) Would someone have a clue? Or better yet, an old copy of the Champion install ISO? For background, I'm not a strong Mac guy, but I've been hacking U= nix since the mid 80s. and Linux since the mid-1990s.
