pdisk should be able to see not only the Apple boot partition but the partitions and mount points of all the drives you have! If not, then it will be a matter of tracking down why they are not seen.
Everything should show up by using: pdisk -l
(as in the letter "l", not the number 1),

Based on the Installation Program, all that was needed were 3 disks since I'm stalling the basic desktop system (vs server, etc.).
The following describes my machine:
<x-tad-smaller>
Machine Model: Power Mac G4
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 467 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
</x-tad-smaller>
The YDL version is: 4.0.1.
The Installation program appeared to be satisfied after the 3rd disk and did an auto-boot. The rest is history.
My question is: perhaps the Mac didn't see the 1 MB Apple Boot drive that was supposed to have been created during the installation process. Or perhaps such a boot HD wasn't created.
How would I know and, are there other logical explanations?
I the meantime, I guess I have to start all over again.

According to what I've read regarding YDL 4.0 you need all FOUR (4) discs for installation, not 3. If you are using YDL 3.0 instead which does use only 3 disks for installation, that would explain a lot of your difficulty._______________________________________________
However, YDL 3.0 is perfectly fine for Old World systems, but OS X may not work well on systems slower than 500MHz (the speed at which most Old World systems operate).

Greetings:
I have multiple hard drives, one is HFS+ (w/out journaling) split between Jaguar and YDL. The YDL partition has about 20 GB. I've ran thru the YDL manual-installation process and was sure to create a 1 MB Apple boot drive and set the target HD at the root '/' directory per instructions. I did the custom install of options and used the first 3 disk for installation.
At the end, the installer said 'congrats' and rebooted. What I got was the default Jaguar boot (the second partition).
The result:
1) The Linux (YDL) HD is not visible on the desktop; nor can I see it under the System Profiler.
2) The Disk Utility does see the YDL disk as a generic disk with the name 'disk0s3'; *** Not Mounted ***.
Question: How can I make the YDL disk mountable and selectable; and hence BOOTABLE at startup?
Regards,
Ric.
