Dual/Triple booting with separate disks?

[Romeyn Prescott]

I have a G4 tower with a 30GB IDE drive (one HFS partition with both 
Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X on it and a SCSI card with a 9GB fast&wide 
drive attached to it.

I booted from the YDL 2.1 CD and partitioned and installed YDL to the 
9GB drive:

/dev/sdc6 = boot
/dev/sdc7 = swap
/dev/sdc8 = /

When it asked where my various OSes were in order to configure 
yaboot, I entered in the proper partitions.

When I rebooted after an apparently successful install, the G4 booted 
back to MacOS.  I booted into YDL by booting from the CD and typing 
"cd-linux boot=/dev/sdc8" and ran /sbin/ybin and the G4 still boots 
from Mac OS on the IDE drive.

I tried booting from CD and going back into Linux again, but now, 
after issuing the same command, it STARTS to boot, but kernel panics 
because it can't read the super_block and can't find a reiserfs 
filesystem on the device.

???!?!

I can't find any docs on the YDL site that address dual/triple 
booting when multiple disks are involved.  LinuxPPC.org used to have 
some docs on hacking your OpenFirmware, but their site seems to have 
dropped off the face of the web.

Can anyone here help me?
