Actually, my post didn't go to the list because its still awaiting
moderator approval because of a "suspicious header" although the
automated response didn't tell me which header was the problem. I've
sent other posts to fedora-ppc in the past and I don't think any of them
have gotten through becuase of this problem.

Unfortunately I can't help you there. All of our machines are linux/ppc
only, no Mac OS X. The only thing I can suggest is disconnecting the Mac
OS X drive to be safe during the install. If linux/ppc isn't booting
after installing on sdb, you might try switching the drive so linux/ppc
is sba and Mac OS X is sdb, since I think Mac OS X can handle booting as
the second drive if I recall correctly.
