Problems installing YDL 2.3

[Jamie White]

The only thing I can suggest (being a newbie myself), is that in the 
installation instructions, it did say to have the unallocated partition 
as the first on the map, but as far as I can tell, that only seems to 
be for defaulting to boot through Linux to get all 3 (9, x and YDL) 
options for booting into. Then again, it may be completely different 
for you, seeming as I am using Yaboot.

Of course, I could be talking out of my rear. It has been known to 
happen! Just a suggestion though...
