Bronze keyboard G3 Powerbooks (Lombard) do not work with yaboot. There is some kind of initialization issue with the framebuffer that hasn't been resolved. Even though I don't like it, I'm stuck using BootX on my powerbook. I hope this problem will be discovered, someday, though. I do agree that BootX is an annoying way to normally boot Linux. It just looks strange to have the machine boot up and identify itself as MacOS, and then go into Linux. David Brown
