Yeah, YDL will boot on dual processor machines, however, you'll need
yaboot 0.6 or later and the latest kernel. I currently only have one of
the processors working, but I think I saw something about 0.7 of yaboot
allowing you to use both processors... I haven't tried it out yet
though.
Probably the easiest way for you to get it working is to put the hard
drive from the dual G4 into another machine. Then install CS 1.2 on it
and update yaboot and the kernel. Then you can put it back in the dual
G4 and it hopefully should work.
