three partitions two ATA controllers boot problem

[mauro]

going on you should find a window that ask to you to partition and choose
the mount point... chek it...
anyway, install this version of YDL on a relative old mac isn't really that
easy... should be different with the new puters, 'cause in my opinion they
did it for the latest CPU...
i never had such a problem with earlier version of YDL...

> be it yaboot or with anaconda how do i select in anaconda the disk?
