Hi Michael, I cannot help you with yaboot, as I have stopped using it for years, my powerbook G4 runs grub2 since a couple of years without any problems, my suggestion would be to just ditch yaboot and its problems and try grub2 on your macmini G4 (I think it should run). You could easily setup your other OSes there, just like on an x86. A good howto can be found here: http://cynic.cc/blog/posts/running_grub2_on_powerpc_macs/ But I found that just copying the default grub.img from the grub2-ieee package to my Apple_HFS partition (after setting up grub.cfg ofc), and rebooting to OF, it's as simple as doing: boot hd:2,grub.img I've pretty much forgotten about booting on my G4 ever since. I'm sorry if I didn't have a suggestion for your yaboot problem, but assuming you fix this it might be a good idea to think about ditching it for ever. My 2c. Konstantinos
