 From the CMD chip, I'm saying it's a Rev2 with OF 3.1.1 and I was 
running into the problem listed here:

"unknown or corrupt filesystem"

After backing up some stuff on my old mac, I started making some 
hardware replacements on the BW G3. Yanked the Apple CD ROM and replaced 
it with my TEAC CD-W54E CD-RW - jumpered  as master. The same little 
demon that tells me that it's ok to knock off early and go grab a beer 
told me to try the YDL install again. Bingo Bango, text install came up 
sweet as you please. I thought I would pass that along.

Thanks to all who have tossed out help and hints. I may be needing more 
as I install on the morrow.
