I'd try the YDL website they have some FAQs on there. From memory (and
the quick read I had) you have to create a boot setup specific to the
model of machine that you have and I think they have step by step
instructions there somewhere.
They definately have an 'Install Guide' available as a PDF file anyway,
perhaps start with that.
