Good thing my YDL box only has Mac OS on it for purposes of playing with
MacOnLinux. 8.5 will suffice for now.

Is anyone successfully dual-booting between OS X Public Beta and YDL? I had
planned on dual-booting my G4 w/ both OS 9.04 (yeah, yaboot city) and YDL
but then started hearing positive stories about X PB that I would like to
start running it. (Actually I really want to tri-boot it w/ NetBSD but Will
take one step at a time)

What horror stories has anyone heard?
