Hi there,
Things on this list seem to be real slow on the weekends. most everybody
i think takes a break away from the computer for awhile. anyway, i just
ran into this problem last week but not with OS 9. I was trying to set
up a dual boot of Linux and OS X to no avail. OS X seems to disrupt the
Linux partition in some way to where yaboot won't be able to find the
file system image. Mostly I think it has to do with having two Unix
systems on one drive but with you it sounds like that's not the case.
Try reformatting and partitioning again only this time install OS 9
first, then install YDL on the other partition. Let me know if this
helps you at all.
