Just to make it clear, this method works to do either
1) install and boot Debian onto a system without requiring MacOS before
or after
or
2) boot YellowDog after install, bypassing the MacOS partition(s) [they
could be reformatted]
Hopefully, someone will figure out how to use it to boot into the
YellowDog installer from cd!
