Re: [Nubus-pmac-users] Re: installing ilnux on a powerbook 5300cs

[Tobias N. <tob...@t-...>]

You mustn't hit enter after you see "About to boot kernel:..." !
You have to wait until both the kernel and the installer ramdisk image=20=

are extracted and after that miboot will enter the kernel.
This may take some time on your system - just wait.

It might also be that your PowerBook simply doesn't have enough memory=20=

to extract both the kernel and installer ramdisk into the main memory.
As I already said you need at least 24 MB of RAM (and perhaps even that=20=

might not be enough).
As Daniel already said you can find out how much memory you have by=20
booting from the boot floppy or the MacOS CD and then clicking on the=20
apple in the upper left corner and selecting the very first menu item=20
("About this macintosh" or something like this).
