I followed the instructions which are wrong, it doesn't install the fake System file to the small Mac partition /boot. You need to copy the fake System file from the CD to the Mac partition and modify Yaboot.conf to boot from the desired kernel. The rest is more or less how they tell you to in the manual. I get a really nice splash screen with Q4. Full colours - then it boots into the desktop with 8 bit colour

The colour was fixed. :) This explains why the cd gets so far and then stops, its meant to be copied across to the /boot partition to boot that distro without the need of bootx making it almost transperant.
Whether this can be applied to another distro??
Opps, I got that backwards as its not installed to /boot as the manual explains but is copied to the mac partition. Bootx can do the same thing, basicilly you need a small MacOS partition if your mac is oldworld. :(
