I boot my G5 late 2005 from ext4 with yaboot: sys-boot/yaboot-static-1.3.16-r1 I don't know anything about G4's, but for me it was, as far as I remember mandatory to use the static version of yaboot. (The only useflag "ibm" is set, but probably not necessary) I use: ---------------------------------------------------------- ~ $ cat /etc/yaboot.conf ## yaboot.conf generated by yabootconfig 1.0.8 ## ## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details.
