Problem after installing YDL - ANS 700

Hi,

I've just tried to install an ANS server with YDL.

The installation seems to have been successful. The only problem I got
was during configuring X windows. It was not able to get the right
settings, so I quit it to deal with this later.

Now when I try to boot with the vmlinux.coff file I get the following
message after detecting the scsi disk:

Warning: unable to open an initial console
Kernel panic: Not init found
Try passing init= option to the kernel

I am not very familiar with Open Firmware (I saw this ANS server for the
first time yesterday :-), so I do not really know where to go from
here.

The command I used to boot was (like I'm told in the YDL readme):
boot fd:vmlinux.coff root=/dev/sda1

The installer program told me the following after installing the system
files:
To boot linux
set root device in BootX to /dev/sda1
Uncheck RAMDISK option

I do not know how to unset the RAMDISK option, but I doubt that this causes
the problem I have.

I will be very happy for any help!

Best regards,

Peder Godvik
