After anaconda crashed, I was able to finish the install process by hand: 1. Reboot from the network install disk using "text rescue" kernel arguments. 2. Ask the system to mount the root filesystem when prompted. 3. Ensure root and boot filesystems are mounted R/W. 4. Chroot into root filesystems as instructed by anaconda. 5. Create /etc/yaboot.conf: boot=/dev/hda2 device=hd: partition=3 timeout=50 root=/dev/VolGroup/lv_root read-only label=linux image=/vmlinuz-2.6.29.1-46.fc11.ppc initrd=/initrd-2.6.29.1-46.fc11.ppc.img 6. Execute ybin. 7. Reboot.
