Mount Errors While Installing LinuxPPC
So I booted my Revision A iMac into LinuxPPC using BootX. Everything loaded OK, and the installer started. However, when I clicked on "Select Partitions", I tried to mount my root, my user, my opt, and my swap by using mountpoints by their specific names ("/" for root, "/opt" for opt, etc.) However, the installer complains of a "Mount Error", in which "There was an error mounting hdax (X being the number of the drive I tried to mount)". That's all it told me. Any suggestions?
