For the install I told Ubuntu to use the entire FW drive.  Towards  
the end of the install Ubuntu complained that it couldn't install  
yaboot on /dev/sda2.  I looked for an error log but couldn't find  
anything more detailed.  I then went back to the install menu and  
chose "Install yaboot".  Again, Ubuntu complained that it couldn't  
install on /dev/sda2.

If you need more details, how can I get them?

Pressing down the option key doesn't show the external drive.  It  
does show the CD-ROM with the Ubuntu disk and the internal harddrive  
with OS X, but nothing else.
