You need to boot off a UMAX Apus CD, and use the FWB Toolkit on the CD to 
partition the drive.

I doubt it would work as only the UMAX Apus CDs have the necessary drivers 
to work with the hardware in order to boot into MacOs and thence via BootX 
into YDL.8  You need a copy of an Apus CD.  The machine won't boot straight 
into YDL, it must boot into MacOs first.
