IDE problems with 2.3.49?- same with 2.2.15pre3

Nope, all of the booting problems went away with yaboot!

Unfortunately, booting with of is not my choice:

1. Where can I get the yaboot-0.5 version as a MacOS app that can be used
from zip

2.  I do not want to again repartition.  Is booting from a zip using the
o-f keys my only choice now?  Instead of using a zip, could I burn a cd-rom
with yaboot on it that I put in when I want to of boot and then restart and
hold down the c key?  Would it be better to put your of-booting script on
the cdrom?

Also, is there any chance BootX will be fixed to work with these machines
or am I SOL (I spend as much time using MacOS as LinuxPPC and liked the
control of simple dual booting without messing with of).

Thanks!

Kevin
