David, I have a 700 MHz eMac that was purchased in Aug. 2002. Great 
machine for the price, BTW... even better value these days on the newer 
eMacs.

Is there a way yaboot can be configured so I can choose between booting 
OS 9 and OS X? Would this require me to create separate partitions for 
each Mac OS?

The PRAM resetting did help restore yaboot, thank you.

I was able to get YDL to recognize my Epson printer, but when I did a 
print off a Mozilla page the printer seemed like it was printing but 
the printer head was just moving back and forth over the same area of 
the paper. When I turned off the printer and turned it back on it just 
kept feeding paper through until I turned the power off. ??

Thank you.

<excerpt><fontfamily><param>Lucida Grande</param>Hi Andy and welcome
to the newbie list,

Which eMac do you have?  It must be one of the original ones because 

the new ones won't even boot OS 9, other than in Classic mode within
OS 

X.

To improve your resolutions in MOL run molvconfig again and make sure 

you go through all of the possible choices for your resolution even if 

they are generic ones.  Sometimes they work better.

The problem with not being able to boot back into your drive is in
part 

due to the fact that once you install Linux and yaboot you should
never 

use the startup disk control panel, because it looses your yaboot 

settings.  Sometimes resetting the PRAM works.  Try holding down 

command-option-P-R when you startup and let it chime 3 times and see 

what you get.
