G3 upgrade

[David R. Landon, Jr.]

I installed YDL on a 7600/132 with a Newer Tech G3/250 upgrade on a SCSI
drive with no problems as well as a 7300/180 with a Sonnet G3/400 upgrade on
a SCSI drive with no problems. I had to run the XBoot though.

They probably weren't. I couldn't get Yellowdog to install at all until
I quit trying to install it on a SCSI drive. It installed without a
hitch on an IDE drive.
