Yes, it can read regular ISO9660s...what's more interesting is that we have another iMac of the same vintage that I just tested -- it boots just fine off of the same CD -- must be some subtle flaw in the cdrom drive? alignment? calibration?

What happens then? does it go interactive so that I can specify an IP address, or do I need to set up some BOOTP magic? Is this documented anywhere? I'm also having troubles finding the right mkofboot incantation (yes, still) I can make yaboot start off of the Apple_Bootstrap partition, but it always complains about not finding an image. (More playing to be done, I guess.)
