Apple Bootstrap/Sound?

Howdy Ho to all!

I'm running a PPC 7500 w/ a 604e upgrade, 2 HDDs (30GB Maxtor with 9.1
and an 80GB IBM Deskstar for linux).
I partitioned the 80GB Drive for 70GB for the linux and 10GB as hfs+
(old world machines, I've gathered, won't stand alone w/ linux).I'm
Running BootX off the other HDD.
During Installation of YDL, Disk Druid doesn't allow for an Apple
Bootstrap (ext2, ext3, swap are the only partition types available), so
I have it set to a 320 MB swap (twice my RAM) aand the rest as ext3.
Everything seems to be working fine except for sound. The linux system
isn't recognizing my soundcard - 

"device /dev/dsp/ can't be opened (no such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device"

is the dialog box I get during startx

Anyone with similar issues and/or a fix?

Thanks in advance,
James
