Ok, last night I realized that the problem might be that I patitioned the drive for yellowdog using BootX to boot so I repartitioned the drive. I tried yaboot again so I cleared out the drive with the "i" command, then created the 800K bootstrap partition using "b", then a root partition using "p", then 3P called it Root, then swap with "p", 4P and called it "swap", the installer initialized and mounted everything, then I tried yaboot, no good, again told me it was an Oldworld machine (I thought it might be a mistake if I'd done too many things wrong, this just verified yaboot was right) so then I went back to the partitioning, used "r" to move the bootstrap partition to 4P, used the "make system bootable" option, then ran nvsetenv boot-device `ofpath /dev/hda2` as hda2 was not the root instead of hda3 from a shell.
Long story short, it still won't boot. I am going to try to do the whol thing over without the bootstrap partition and see how that goes. Before I venture off, does anyoine see anything that I might have done wrong?
