So I believe that if you are using an iBook G3, you should always |
4 |
configure as a "New World." I am assuming its not a clamshell looking |
5 |
thing. Installing OS9 wouldn't change this. |

You might want to set up the partitions using mac-fdisk, as I think the |
8 |
OSX disk utility costs you some extra blocks. Just put the separate |
9 |
partitions for OS9 and OSX anywhere after the tiny bootstrap partition, |
10 |
and configure yaboot accordingly. |

At least I think this is correct, someone please correct me if I am |
13 |
wrong. Best of luck! |
