Can't boot off YDL 4.1 disc to install

[William Howard]

 From what I understand, there is a known issue with booting some 
PowerBooks with the YDL disks...

See this page:

If you're sure it should be working (and this did happen to me with my 
B&W install), burn the disks again at a slower speed, or use another 
brand of media. Some disks do work better than others...
