Problem while loading YDL 2.3 on 800MHz G4 powermac.

[Michael Wright]

I just experienced the same problem on my new dual G4.  TDL-2.3 does not 
have drivers for the ATA100 IDE bus.  I was able to see the hard drives and 
almost completely install the OS after I moved the drives to the ATA66 bus.

Does anyone know why I the network interface is also not seen?
Does anyone have a tip for why I get a "grey screen of death" when I select 
any OS from yaboot?

Thanks, Michael
