IIRC the firmware won't allow bigger file sizes required for recent
Fedoras, so it's unlikely it could be fixed. But one could be able to
start the installation by manually adding an entry to yaboot from an
already installed system. Also I don't know if grub2, which is now the
default bootloader, will work on such outdated hardware. But I own this
IntelliStation too, so I might try when I get some time.
