When i insert the Mac Ubuntu cd into the cd drive and boot it,i get this message:

/pci at 80000000/pci-bridged at d/mac-io at 5/ata-3 at 20000/disk at 0:2,yaboot.conf:Unknown or corrupt filesystem*
Cant open config file
Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.13
Enter "help" to get some basic usage info**
boot:_

*I know its not corruptt because i was able to run the disc in VmWare and also note that the Mac partition isnt on the HD anymore,so i cant use it for anything else till i get Ubuntu or something on it.

**Ive tried it and it doesnt help me at all

Anyone got any clues as to how to get Ubuntu running on here?(and i know for a fact that it has at least 256 mb ram because there are 4 chips,2 which i dont know what they are,1 256 mb and a 64mb)
