Hi Chris:
I found it helpful to refer to a document regarding Openfirmware which
I found here:

spread.pdf
I'm not an engineer and have gone as far as I can regarding what
possibilities I can think of. I'm sure others will step forward to
address the issues you are bringing up.
Good Luck ...

All right I think I know what's wrong. For some reason, after the
yaboot prompt to load YDL, OpenFirmware loads as well and freezes. I
think I remember reading about, if Linux is not the first partition on
the hard drive, this could happen. Could it be that the same thing is
happening because YDL is installed on an external hard drive? If so,
is there a way to boot from my firewire drive while in OpenFirmware?
I've already tried holding down option+command+z+delete to bypass the
internal hard drive but apparently it doesn't work in Panther. I'm
thinking that is I start up in OpenFirmware by holding
command+option+o+f, and then tell it to boot from the firewire disk,
then when I get to the yaboot prompt and press "l", OpenFirmware won't
override it and freeze on me. What do you think? The only reason I
haven't tested this theory yet is because I don't know the command to
boot from a FireWire disk in OpenFirmware since I am not familiar with
it.
I hope this is helpful. We seem to be making some progress.
Thank you again,
-Chris
