YDL 3.0 won't boot from CD

[Robert Davis]

I think you are on to something here, Ken.  The Install Guide does not 
list them, but I seem to remember installing YDL 2.0 via BootX way 
back when.   I will act as though it's OldWorld, try it that way, and
report back.

Thanks for taking the time to help out,

Robert
