OS X 10.2.8 causing problems for YDL 3.0?

Well, my story is that I ran several 10.2.7 beta builds on my iBook 
Nov 2002, and the first 10.2.8 beta build, all perfectly compatible 
with YDL3 booting.

Operation and dual-booting was so trouble-free that as soon as the 
10.2.8 release came out, I installed it (with no obvious problems, 
including no problem with the ethernet, as was widely publicized). 
Then Apple pulled it. I had had no occasion to boot to YDL until I 
saw the note on the web site not to do it (lovely).

So I just tried booting YDL with 10.2.8 installed, and surprise, had 
no problem, EXCEPT:

No networking; YDL will not recognize either my ethernet nor my 
airport interfaces at boot (boot messages show error). ifconfig shows 
the ethernet interface but no network addresses assigned to it. The 
airport interface is missing entirely from ifconfig. Needless to say, 
both were working fine on OSX and YDL, even with the beta 10.2.8 
having been installed.

Anyone else see this with 10.2.8: YDL boot but no network interfaces?

How about Panther - anyone see YDL3 incompatibilities with a Panther 
beta install? I'm jonesin' to get the Panther speed boost anyway, 
just hate that 3-CD segmented download...
