This is a tardy followup to my own post to answer a couple of points
that other people have already answered, and to thank those people who
are actually fixing the problem - my hat goes off to you.

Dunno yet. On the 550, Return was mapped to a comma, etcI'll look

What did you do in mac-fdisk to get a kernel panic? What kernel version
did you use?

had this document 2 weeks ago. I am glad you've saved me the effort
of writing it, however.

the TiBookit's apparently incorrect (as I found out when I rebooted
after setting it). For now, the kernel keymap appears to be the better

Branden's notes also apply to the new Titanium PowerBooks (at
least for the 550...I'm sure 667 is the same in general since most of the
hardware is unchanged between the two). So, installing on a new TiBook
should follow the same procedure.
Nice work on the docs, Branden...very thorough :-) FYI
On Friday morning I successfully installed woody onto my new iBook. In
the process a few bugs in the boot-floppies were found, but nothing that
couldn't be recovered from with Ethan Benson and Colin Walters at the
ready in IRC. :)
I've written up a HOWTO that in part documents my experience, and
