Since you seem to be having problems understanding the instructions
relating to BootX and YDL 4.0*, I would strongly suggest that you
stick with Mac OS 9 for those two computers.

* I was a Linux neophyte when I installed YDL 4 and I had no problems
installing it on an OldWorld machine. Fixing the other problems caused
me a few headaches but they were easy to resolve once I knew what I
was looking for and I (and others) can answer those questions once you
install YDL 4 or point you to the discussions in the YDL General
archives that document the processes.

FYI XPostFacto is a hack. It's not a permanent solution, especially
for a complete computer neophyte since you're putting an advanced
operating system on primitive hardware which can't really meet its
needs. OS X may run, but it won't run well and will be quite unstable!

YMMV.

As for BootX: You managed to install BootX on the machine when you
installed YDL 2.1 so there's absolutely no reason that you can't get
it on with 3.1 or 4.0.

YDL 3.1 was an easier OS to install than 2.1 so I don't understand why
you didn't go with 3.1 in the first place!

quik is an open source boot loader but AFAIK it's temperamental and
requires a bit of luck and a lot of skill to get working properly.
However, a legal copy of Mac OS 8 or 9 costs next to nothing, and, Mac
OS 7.5.5 (or 7.5.3 Update 2) is free for the downloading from Apple
and runs on all pre-G3 hardware.
