John,
I just tried to install YD Linux on my new G3 the other day. I ran into the
same problem. As it turns out, the hard drives in the rev2 Power Mac G3s
aren't completely compatible with YD Linux. You need to specify the
following arguments in BootX:
hda=noautotune hdb=noautotune
I also ran into the problem of needing to download a new kernel from the
Yellow Dog FTP site. Since you just received the CD, this may not be an
issue, but if you do run into further trouble you might try downloading an
updated "vmlinux" file.
