Oh sorry. Here the details.
Yes, I have installed YDL 4.1 with the command "install firewire" The firewire-device was shown as "sda" (the internal harddisk as hda). During the first reboot i hold the option key an get the "menu" with the disksymbols but only the osx device was displayed, not the firewire-disk... no tux:-(

Thanks,

Carsten.

A bit of information appears to be missing. Do you mean to state that you attempted to install YDL 4.1 onto an external firewire drive connected to a Mac mini? Question: Did you install YDL 4.1 onto the firewire drive using the first install CD? Did you use the command, when you were prompted for an input: install firewire? This command installs a kernel specifically for use where YDL will be booted from firewire drives. No question mark included, of course.

I am unfamiliar with the menu you are speaking of.

I am familiar however with a series of disk icons which appear after the option key is depressed just before the Mac boots up. If there is a bootable drive present a symbol of the OS it uses will appear. YDL will have the symbol of the famous Linux tux (the penguin) appear sitting along the lower right side of the disk. After YDL has been installed properly onto the firewire drive; the firewire symbol will appear together with the tux.

Hello list.

I have installed Yellow Dog 4.1 on a firewire hdd without problems (on a mac mini). After the first boot I held the "option key" for boot menu but there was no firewire disk in the menu.
Where is my fault?

Thanks,

Carsten.
