Only if they can test 8.0/PPC and 8.2/PPC and/or 8.1/IA64. In other
words, I've got enough x86 testers, but need some PPC testers (as I
doubt I'll find any IA64 testers).
(cc'ing this to cooker-ppc in the hopes that someone there can help
out).

Ok, so you went into OF and did a "setenv boot-device hd:8,\\:tbxi"?
(My syntax could be slightly off). I had to do this last night myself,
booting from an 8.2 install CD into rescue mode and running ybin in
chroot as I booted into OS X and changed the startup disk to boot into
OS9 so I could upgrade the version of palmos on my palm. Does
"printenv boot-device" show the correct thing?
I'm not really sure what else to suggest. The strangest behaviour I've
got is when turning on my G4 (after it's been off), it loads up a grey
screen and stalls, and I have to power down again. Once I power up the
second time, ybin comes up just fine for me.
