Search the list archives for firmware update. There was some problems
caused by applying them, IIRC on iBooks. My own experience is I didn't
have a problem applying 4.1.8 on my iMac.
I haven't looked, but I suspect 4.2.x is for newer models. You can
just download it and try it, it won't run on an inapplicable model.
You have to run it and then hold in the reset switch when starting up
to actually get it applied, it tells you it's not applicable during
stage 1.

Well he decided to spend his time elsewhere after getting all upset
about the way a bug was being handled and inappropriately lashing out
with personal attacks.
I believe he's still maintaining yaboot & company.
