How did you install without issues? Did you have to unplug your drives etc?
WHen I tried to install using 3 drives (one for OSX one for OS9 and one for
Linux (YDL 3.0), it casued a problem with my boot partiions and I have to go
through lengths to resore them using a special pdisk from Yellowdog
(Terrasoft), and I could never get yaboot to boot up at all...
thanks
