YDL 2.3 iMac Rev A - can't boot - HELP!! - NOW on YDL 3.0

[Gustavo Chirinos]

I though root partition is where the "bootstrap' is located.
And yes, it should be able to boot, but it doesn't.

I followed the install guides with both YDL 2.3 and 3.0, using dual (OS 
9 and YDL) or just YDL, and didn't work for me.
So, I just give up, initialize the disk and reinstalled OS 9 and OS X.
Maybe this particular model deserve a detailed installation procedure 
for the "rest of us" (I am newbie to Linux) not yet written - or 
available??

Thanks anyway.
