I am back!

[GDB-B&W-YDL]

It's been some time since I posted to this list, but I have been 
subscribed in one form or another since I first got my B&W G3 and 
installed YDL on it.  For anyone who remembers, I was having a problem 
with yaboot and my OSX partition.  My computer would not restart in OSX 
without zapping the PRAM.  I tried many different things to fix the 
problem, even purchased and installed a spare motherboard!  The problem 
turned out to be my HD.  When I bought the computer, it came with a very 
small 6 Gb drive and I decided to put in an 80 Gb HD that I had used in 
several different comptuters prior installing it in this one.  I booted 
from an OSX CD I had and reformatted and partitioned the drive.  I just 
figured that reformatting the drive would sufficiently wipe whatever was 
there from the many other OS'es I had used the drive with and never gave 
it a second thought.  At some point in my dealings with this problem I 
remembered that at one time I had installed a PC boot manager program 
called Boot It NG, and I also remembered that this particular program 
was very difficult to erase from the HD.  It turns out I had purchased a 
brand-new 40 Gb HD for another project I was working on, so when the 
spare motherboard I bought did not fix the problem I decided to try the 
new HD.  Shazamm, the problem disappeared!  The computer boots and 
reboots from all the different OS'es on it now just fine.  Long story 
short (too late!), I'm happy to be back and continue where I left off.
