Please disregard my previous post. I clearly have larger problems.
I can't boot from any of my SCSI disks no matter WHAT OS I put on
them!!

Me again...
I have a G4 tower with a 30GB IDE drive (Mac OS 9/Mac OS X) and a
SCSI card from a Beige G3 MT Server with two 4GB and a 9GB drive.
I had hitherto attempted installation of YDL to the 9GB drive (sdc)
and telling the installer that I wanted to dual-boot and from which
partitions.
Short story: That didn't work.
I suspected problems with the 9GB drive, so I installed to one of the
4GB drives.
Same problem. I reboot after installation and telling the installer
that I want Linux as my primary OS, but the damn thing (Mac) boots to
MacOS off the internal HD anyway.
Another oddity, if I remember my Yaboot theory correctly (it's been a
year since I muched around with LinuxPPC on a G4) the bootloader
partition is an HFS partition with a "fake" System Folder. In
theory, ought not I to be able to see/mount it from OS 9?
I can't.
Help?
Any thoughts?
TIA,
...ROMeyn
