i would prefer yaboot on my bronze powerbook but the video doesn't get
initialized quite right -- the kernel is counting on something that macos
does when it starts to boot.
things like this will have to get fixed because ben's getting tired of
working out the hack on top of hack to make bootx work with new machines
and new versions of macos.
yaboot can be made to boot macos and have a timeout to go to one or the
other, so no functionality is lost, but the flashy gui and simple
configuration is missing in yaboot.
