  ... I have tried again to get an f7 installation to boot on my B&W G3. 
  Using the 1.3.14-rc2 version of yaboot suggested I have gotten further 
in that I don't get error messages any longer, but when I boot, I still 
get the "blinking folder", instead of the yaboot lead into my f7 
installation.

The steps I have tried so far are:

1. boot rescue CD
2. choose to mount my disk's f7 installation as /mnt/sysimage
(if you haven't been following this thread, this is a completely new 
installation.  No errors occurred on installation.)
3. cd /mnt/sysimage/tmp
4. download 1.3.14-rc2 of yaboot as suggested by Paul and unpack here in tmp
5. PATH_PREFIX=/mnt/sysimage/tmp/ybin 
/mnt/sysimage/tmp/ybin/yabootconfig --chroot /mnt/sysimage -b /dev/sda2

Thas is a slightly simplied version of what I had to do to avoid various 
error messages like getting the wrong version of cut, not finding 
nvsetenv, and trying to run /usr/sbin/mkofboot instead of 
/mnt/sysimage/tmp/ybin/mkofboot.  This was all pretty easy to change by 
modifying the scripts yabootconfig and mkofboot.  Everything seems to 
proceed correctly without error messages.  However, on reboot, I'm still 
stuck at the blinking folder.  Is there something more needed?  What 
else can I check on?

Thanks for the help!
