@Peter:

Thanks for the comments . . . however I don't think anything I did
"recovered Yaboot" . . . from Sunday and the apparent problems with booting
from "c" key and or failing to boot "l" from Yaboot window . . . 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 . . . .
