Titolo: Yellow Dog Linux: Problema

Abbiamo......... avevamo un PowerMac 8500/120 funzionante, tentando di
domarlo con una distro Linux Yellow Dog abbiamo formattato tutto ,
roncando via il MacOS.
Adesso la macchina non butta, se non la buttiamo noi dalla finestra,
come facciamo????????????
Si puo fare boot da floppy in qulche modo? (anche se i signori della
yellow dog dicono che e' obsoleto)
Help us ciao Simone..........Francesco.................... .

Ti dovrebbe fare "boot" da CD !
Con una macchina cosi' vecchia forse non e' sufficiente premere il tasto "c"
all'avvio ...
Prova cosě:
All'avvio tieni premuto il "tasto mela" + "tasto ALT" + "tasto Shift" +
"tasto backspace" (quello che cancella a sinistra )
In questo modo costringi il Pmac a partire da un'altra sorgente SCSI che NON
sia il disco INTERNO.
A proposito, 8500/120 funziona con Yello Dog Linux ?
Non credo che sia una macchina PCI !
Per curiosita sono andato a cercarmi il sito:
