Wow, that?s an excellent guide on using advanced functions of the yaboot boot loader and I got it bookmarked in my web browser. Thanks a lot!

I wish I had found something similar when I installed triple-boot on my G4 Quicksilver several years ago (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, YDL).

Just one more thing: Maybe it?s better if you change the apple-history link in your initial posting to http://www.apple-history.com/ or http://www.apple-history.nl/ to avoid that someone will buy the model it refers to by mistake - unless he knows what he is doing, of course.

I guess both web sites, http://www.apple-history.com/ and http://www.apple-history.nl/ are basically the same. Currently your reference in the first posting is linked to the Power Macintosh G4 (PCI Graphics), a model which, according to MorphOS developer jacadcaps, might not be supported, for it is a PowerMac 1,2, i.e. it is older than PowerMac 3,1. That is why interested users will most likely run into trouble if they try to install MorphOS on it, or the installation could turn out to be more difficult.

I mean, personally I?d love to see PowerMac G4 (PCI) (and also similar PowerMac G3 b/w) boards supported by MorphOS. If I wanted to buy a used PowerMac nowadays to run MorphOS on it, however, I?d definitely go for a slower AGP version, for they will probably cost, more or less, the same amount of money as PCI based PowerMacs G4 and they support more RAM; less than 40 Euros at the German ebay market incl. shipping will probably suffice. And to enjoy sound support right from the start and for people who need more speed, a faster PowerMac G4 would be a better option, if I understand the developers? postings correctly. Though these machines will also cost more money, of course.
