triplebooting ydl on powerbook

[John Di Stefano]

Eric,

Please post all relevant info about your triple boot scheme, including 
the config file and the boot order.  Can the yaboot loader accommodate a 
quadruple boot scheme as well?

I partitioned my iMac G5 into 5 physical partitions when I first got it 
6 months ago, with Mac OS X on the first partition.  All of them were 
formatted as HFS+  (which is not the proper formatting for Linux, 
evidently) but the last 4  partitions were left blank, leaving partition 
#2 for MP3 music downloads,  partition #3 for YDL,  partition #4 for 
Ubuntu for PPC and partition #5 as a spare. 

Is this workable?  Do I have to back-up and then re-format the entire HD 
and re-install Mac OS X again?

All the best,

John
