That's what I found out to. When keeping the ALT-Key pressed I can boot Mac
OS 9 and therefrom starting YDL using BootX, so no probs.

But when I choose Mac OS X using the Startup Disk control panel and reboot
the Mac stops booting and stays in an OpenFirmware prompt on the internal
video.

If I knew how to pass the correct boot-device setting in the OF I could
force the machine to boot from OS X.

I had the same problem booting from the YDL 3.0.1 CD on my PBG3 Bronze and
had to boot into OF and give em a 'boot cdrom' command to make it boot from
the CD.

If I reinstall Mac OS X will the issue dissapear or come back after booting
YDL again?
