Hi,
Well I can install YD 2.0, but CANNOT boot it. Or at least I haven't been
able to. Can someone help me?

G4 400mhz, 384 megs ram, 17GB, 10GB, 57GB.

the first drive ATA2 17GB is partitioned as follows:

2GB HFS with Mac OS 9.1...
    hda10 is 10mb yellowdog boot (as per instructions)
    hda11 is 256mb swap
    hda12 is max(the rest of drive) linux

YD 2.0 installs fine, and when I reboot...it goes straight into mac os...
IF I hold down option key, I get a picture of a drive (one with mac os on
it), nothing else, unless I leave the YD 2.0 cd in, whereas I also get a
picture of the CD.

Any specific ideas?

Thank you so much,
chris
