I just put the computer away, possibly not even shutting it down, but in "sleep" in OSX. Then last night re-started with DVD in and it booted up . . . . And then restarting again Yaboot allowed the choice for "L" . . . and that's where the system "crash" occurs . . . freezing on "p link is down" . . . nothing can be done, no TTY only shut down via power button. In terms of the ethernet, this wasn't a problem in 12.04 or even the installs of 14.04 that I've had, but somewhere in the past it was . . . from the single user I ran "modprobe sungem" command, which worked to fix the problem before in my iMac 800 . . . this time, nada, nichts, nothing . . . tried it a couple of times to no avail. Right, the wifi and sound have remained a problem since 12.04 and can be adjusted at some point . . . seems more important to be able to boot the system . . . first . . . . And, also agreed, the PowerPCFAQ offers work arounds for problems that haven't been fixed . . . . F
