ok this may be a stupid question, but...

  It is required to use BootX on the Powerbook G3 98 and lower (Old
World Rom).  Since you have a Wallstreet you would have to install Mac
OS.  Rid on the other hand has a newer Powerbook model "Bronze" so it is
not required for him to use BootX or install Mac OS.  This is all
explained clearly on the Yellow Dog website.  Take a look at the support
section.

I don't really know if I use a similar machine - mine is a G3 400 MHz 
powerbook with a "bronze" coloured keyboard. I can positively say, that 
there is NO Mac O/S on this machine. There is a small (HFS or whatever) 
partition for bootup purposes, but this was created as a part of the 
YDL2.3 installation. At no time was a Mac OS disk involved here and the 
machine boots and runs very nicely indeed with only YDL.
