[ydl-gen] How to have YDL and Leopard coexist

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Sterling:
There are problems with your description.  Which Powermac?  Are the
different operating systems on external or internal drives?  For your
information, as far as I understand it, ybin is designed to distinguish and
allow for choice from booting from internal hard drives only.

Given what you've reported you may instead be using external drives.  You
can avoid the problem by holding down the option key which initiates open
firmware.  Then you may choose which drive to boot from, YDL is symbolized
by the sitting penguin.  The downside of this method is that you'll have to
do this procedure every time.

Another problem, although I do recall sometime back YDL being capable of
booting from an external drive -- I've not tried to do so with YDL6.  So I
do not know if YDL6 will boot from an external drive.

All the best...
