YDL 4.0 on G3 B&W (yosemite)

[Henry A. Leinhos]

I'm curious, do you have a rev 1 or 2 Yosemite (you can tell if it is a 
rev 2 if your B+W has a HD bracket that can hold 2 drives).  I have a 
rev 1 and my WD 120G drive had nothing but troubles with the IDE 
controller.  I eventually gave up and through a 6GB Drive on the main 
IDE and added a Promise Ultra66 card (from a PC!)  to use the 120G 
drive.  I couldn't boot from the 120G drive, but I could install yaboot 
on the 6GB drive and point the root= to my 120.  I could then even use 
MOL on the 120, without a hitch.

YMMV
