I searched the lists and it said that to install 9.1 on an eMac I should try:
installgui-benh text
That doesn't work/exist.
So I try: install-gui-benh text which leaves me with a black screen after some text scrolls quickly by.
So what's the secret to installing on an eMac?
Don't know for sure this will work but try adding
video=ofonly
to your boot arguments
Good call, Stew! If I use:
install-gui-benh text video=ofonly
I can get into the installation process.
And the install went off flawlessly.
It boots up into yaboot, and I click the 'l' for linux, and it boots linux.
And then (surprise!!) the screen goes blank.
SO: from yaboot, or open firmware, how do I tell it:
video=ofonly
I'm assuming that will at least get me to the point where I can log in and look at logs and whatnot.
Thanks, Jeff
