I see somewhat the same; booting cold from 'yaboot', mine hangs near the
SCSI initialization. I find I must boot (BootX) from MacOS (but not
necessarily with BootX' `Force SCSI Init.' on), so you might try that. This
might superficially work-around our problem, but I'd love to use that 400M
as swap. I can warm-boot after that using yaboot (the video doesn't have
quite the same behavior) but it appears to be fine.
