Hi,
I'm trying to do a Headless ubuntu install on an Xserve G5.
Booting up with the alternate CD connected to the serial port. I get the following output on the console:
parsing <CHRP-BOOT>
evaluating <BOOT-SCRIPT>
Then it just sits there with nothing more.
I have tried booting it through open firmware using the commands:
> setenv input-device scca
> setenv output-device scca
> boot cd:,\install\yaboot
I can then get to the boot: and I type install
boot: install
then i get:
Please wait, loading kernel...
Elf64 kernel loaded...
Loading ramdisk...

Then it just hangs there.
I would appreciate any help I can get trying to install it.
