Hi i just want to install openSUSE Beta3 on a PPC iBook on an external USB-HARDDRIVE. So theres my Problem: After installing the kernel an a minimal amount of apps of the openSUSE CD1, the YAST-Setup Tool wants me to restart my machine. So after doing it and pressing the ALT-Key after the beep, the external USB-Drive isnt bootable yet, so that I cant booting my newly installed openSUSE Beta3. Looking for help on google I found out, that I should do something with the yaboot-bootmanager! Also the description of booting into openSUSE on the openSUSE website doesnt work. Would somebody help me, and give just a little step-by-step description how I get this drive bootable, to start to my newly installed openSUSE? Thx allot! GALDO

Also, please don't reply to me, just to the list. I get a double message when I am replied to as well.
