Shyamal remarked, it doesn't like dev/sdX (since the 2.6.12 kernel
changes). If you've got a version
I don't have a very good answer on the Sarge kernel or package. I tried

So I *think* this means the only candidate for this hardware is the

Thanks guys.
Shyamal, it just so happens that /dev/sda4 is correct for me too. On my
box its the root though. I just didn't understand the rest of your
directions, and I am not used to the Apple partition. So I am probably
*still* misunderstanding.

Getting frustrating.
I got a working yaboot from the YDL install.
I did the rest of the install from the debian testing "etch" netinstall.
