C boots from the CD-ROM. After completing the installation,
the docs say I can hold option to boot YDL (via yaboot on my G4), but
instead I only get options for 9 & X (and the CD, if inserted). I now
have an installed but inaccessible YDL installation on my secondary
IDE disk. Perhaps if I grokked Open Firmware, I'd know how to specify
that partition in OF terms, but I don't.
