no yaboot prompt!

2001-10-10 Thread Sean Fay
After I had sucessfully installed Mandrake I had to reformat the hard drive due to some space allocation mistakes I made. But after install I do not get the yaboot prompt anymore. I have done the command-option-O-F thing and set the boot device but that did not help. All I see is that stupid

My G4 Sawtooth plays sound through the internal speaker, even when something is plugged into the speaker jack on the back. I have had this problem with every distro I have tried (Linux/PPC, SuSe, Yellow Dog, and Mandrake). Anyone know of a fix for this? -- Michael Weisman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
