Hi Chris, I'm new to this forum and I'm not sure I'm responding  
correctly by sending my message to this default address but guess  
I'll find out when it's posted:

I installed YDL 4.1 on my external Firewire drive today and got the  
same results as you've described: after installation, when selecting  
linux at the yaboot prompt, I get diverted to open firmware which  
promptly freezes. I tried rebooting holding the Tab key down to get  
the graphic boot screen (I forget what it's called), selected the  
firewire drive, selected the arrow to continue and the results were  
the same.

I had previously installed this distribution on a a second internal  
drive and it worked ok. I don't have a solution to the Firewire boot  
problem but was hoping that you might have figured something out. If  
you have, I'd be a happy camper if you would share it with me.
Syd
