I have the same problem.

Well, it works with Linux also. In fact, when I installed
Jaguar on my iBook, I "lost" the ability of booting Linux and
as I didn't have a bootable Debian CD handy, I used it without
any problems to be able to re-run ybin.

Yes. What would be nice is if yaboot could have a graphical
chooser like OF's one. :-)

I don't have any FW drives, but it would be cool if any
bootloader allowed booting from FW drives, with a graphical
menu. :-)

The SMP support works great for an ooold PMac 9500/180MP that
I have here borrowed from my uncle. It's much, much better
than 2.2's support.
I have not tried MOL yet.
BTW, I read the testing excuses file and I don't see why
libgnutls5 hasn't entered testing yet. Anybody knows why? I'm
dying to test mutt it with a particular IMAPS server
(Apple's), which doesn't work with libgnutls4.
