[ydl-gen] Firewire install question

[Rob]

I have the same problem here.

Original 17" iLamp
Original 80GB Maxtor in CompuCable FireXpress drive enclosure

I can see and mount the firewire drive from Tiger on the internal drive.
I can see and mount the firewire drive booting from a Tiger DVD and a  
Ubuntu PPC live CD.

I have messages similar to Steven's with ctrl-alt-f3.
I tried "install mediacheck" and "install firewire mediacheck" and  
seemed to get exactly the same output with ctrl-alt-f3.

I am very interested in the solution for this.

HTH,
Rob
