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

A 'Mirrored Drive Door' mac refers to a model of Powermac tower with a  
shiny front bezel. It was available with 1 or 2 processors at speeds  
IIRC from 1.0 to 1.25 GHz. Even Apple refers to them as MDD macs.

For details see http://support.apple.com/kb/SP63
My system has 4 INTERNAL drives, 2 GB memory and dual 1.25 GHz  
processors.

A bit more info-
the partitions are Apple_UNIX_SVR2 but Leopard still complains via a  
dialog box at boot time about an
unknown disk partition - could it be the swap partition for YDL???

Is there no one out there who runs YDL 6 and MacOSX in my  
configuration? The Suse people have figured out how to coexist quite  
nicely in this configuration but their release has some other serious  
issues I've hit.

I think I'll go back to MacOSX Server and leave the Linux stuff for  
the quad core Xenon people.
