I've now successfully installed YDL 4.0.1 on a dual G5 Xserve and on a PowerMac G4. I had problems similar to what's being described in this thread on the G4 because the disks had partitions that OpenFirmware couldn't handle...
My problem went away after I did a
dd count=10 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda
and completely obliterated the old partition tables. Then I let the YDL
installer create the partitions it wanted. I did change sizes a bit...
I was able to do this "dd" magic at the beginning of the install by
doing a Ctrl-Alt-F2 which will take you to a root shell prompt.
I want to say everything is fine now, but there are other things broken
in 4.0.1 that are outside the scope of this thread...
