Problems Booting YDL From a Firewire Drive

[Ken Tompkins]

Here is my setup and what I have done:

1. Installed the latest YDL on a 60gig drive.
2. Removed drive from main computer and installed in firewire case.
3. The result is that -- on bootup -- the text menu allowing me to select
Linux or OSX does not appear.
4. No problem. Boot holding down the Option key.
5. YDL/firewire drive DOES appear on the screen.
6. When selected, the text boot message does appear.
7. Here's the problem -- keyboard doesn't work! I can't boot YDL.

This is on a PowerPC (Silver Doors), dual 800mhz computer.

Am I not going to be able to use this setup -- YDL on a firewire drive?
Is the only solution putting the YDL drive into the PowerPC Mac and
getting rid of the firewire arrangement? If so, can I add a third
drive to the Mac?
