YDL on a new iBook ? (powerbook 2.2)

I am trying to find out whether it is possible to install YDL CS 1.2.1 on a
new iBook (it's Openfirmware says "apple powerbook 2.2 3f3 bootbom...")

So far I can say that I cannot boot Linux from the YDL CS 1.2.1 CD,
just as it was reported on this list a month ago.
(freezing with "booting..." message)

Am I seriously out of luck here?

I tried experimenting with booting a newer kernel from a harddisk partition,
but this also didn't work right, as I cannot find a decent way to see the
partition that I have to fill in the right numbers for partitions.
BootX also didn't work (as expected )

Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

Dmitrii.
