Is Norberto's HOW-TO for bootx machines and 4.0 ready?

I got YDL 4.0 for my Wallstreet PB and it doesn't even get into the install 
before it kicks into xmon. I was trying to use bootx with the new 2.6.8 kernel 
and the ramdisk that came with it.

I have YDL 3.0.1 installed. Can I just do some kind of upgrade? At least I can 
do a rebuild of the 2.6 kernel if necessary.

Also I have installed the 2.4.25-ben1 kernel from the kernelppc site. I had to 
do my own build of it (turning on xmon, ext3 as part of the kernel, and 
pcmcia). I did that because I was installing the driver for a new D-Link 
DWL-G650 wireless card (with the Atheros chip). I actually got it to work! I 
may be the only person in the world with a Wallstreet Mac and that card 
running (I don't think it is supported in MacOS).

If there is any way I can help...
