rpm --version returns 3.0.6. Go figure.

Yes.

I'm guessing the underscores are some sort of error that it's not
printing out correctly.

Well, the penguinppc howto did help a bit. All the other documentation
had the wrong boot-device setting. I've run into another problem,
though. Now, either it can't open the boot-file (when boot-device is set
to ata/ATA-Disk@0:0), or errors that CLAIM failed (when boot-device is
set to ata/ATA-Disk@0:3).
My root partition is on /dev/hda3 and quik says it installed there, so I
figured that's where I should point OF. But it doesn't work either way.
