I don't know what you mean by "the OS X video issue" (did a quick YDL ML 
archive search and didn't see any post on it), but sounds like you may 
have to tell the Open Firmware where yaboot is. Not a *major* prob tho.

Olaf beat me to the punch on the FAQ. Dang it! :). There are some good 
links there, and I also added on yesterday - a really groovy (yeah I 
know, I said groovy) article by Amit Singh.

In general, If your 'Apple_Bootstrap' partition was placed right after 
your Apple drivers, resetting the nvram *should* have set you up to boot 
from yaboot.

Make sure that you know what partition you have 'Apple_Bootstrap' on. 
You can get this from the OS X side by (as sudo/root):
	pdisk /dev/<DiskYouHaveYDLon> -dump

g'luck and post back with success or failure.
