No it boots straight into OSX
After frigging around with yaboot.conf for a while, I downloaded the latest version of yaboot (1.3.8-rc4) and bingo! Works straight out of the box! I even managed a black on green yaboot screen so I know it's working - cool ;-)But wait... There was a recent revision of yaboot having something to do with G4s ... the Windtunnel and XServe models. First, try downloading the most recent yaboot from penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot to see if that fixes the problem.
Thanks Chris ;-) (and everyone else who pitched in)My G4 is at least a couple of years old (Sawtooth?) AGP Gigabit - so it seems that quite a few G4's may have the same problem. The testing version of yaboot seems to be the answer.
