Christopher,
I'll send you a copy of a similar question i asked recently of YDL.
__________________________________________________________
I have followed all printed and on screen instructions for installing
and using Bootx. I installed and saved Bootx on my scsi drive named
Macintosh HD which I formated OS standard and installed OS 9.2.2 after
making 2 partitions. First 6 gig unassigned/remainder was standard for
OS 9.2.2. I have an IDE drive installed but not powered at the moment
since OS 10.2 lives there and I don't want it messed up.
After macOS 9.2.2 loads I clicked the Bootx option (force SCSI on) . I
have choosen ramdisk-x11 from the macintosh HD System folder and
clicked ok. When I click OK nothing happens except that I am returned
to the main choose your OS window.After waiting about 30 minutes for
something to happen I click the Linux button because all the commands
at the top of the screen are no longer available. The computer reboots,
I click Linux when it appears on the OS choice screen, the #1 YDL disk
has been in the cd drive forever and I get (OOPS kernal access of bad
area, sig: 11), lots of other stuff on the screen and (kernal panic:
attempted to kill init!) Rebooting in 180 seconds.
====================================================

It might be your upgrade card unfortunately. As of YDL 2.3 we can no
longer officially support the CPU upgrade. If you remove the upgrade
card, does the install work?
====================================================
The above response was sent to me on Jan 20, 2003
My YDL profile shows a G3 Beige 266Mhz upgraded to a G4 500Mhz
processor. apparently YDL 2.3 does NOT run with upgraded CPU's. Yeah,
bummer!!! I am not going back to 266 Mhz.

I write this. I am going to try to install YDL on a PowerMac 7500
with a
Sonnet 500mhz G3 upgrade. Has anyone had success doing this? Will
YDL work
OK with ATA drives attached to the Sonnet Tempo ATA/66 card? My
intention
is to use this spare machine as a DNS server.
