Conventional wisdom is that yaboot is the way to go. However, I want duel
boot. Since I cannot access the yaboot instructions at benh's non-site, I
have no idea how to do it. To get back to mac, I'm forcing a CD-rom boot by
holding down C.

An alternative would be to hold down the options key while booting. You can
then choose which disk to boot from... This should save you a "double boot".

I have seen the mirror. It is just the front page with an apology note.

There are other mirrors.

Try penguinppc.org/~benh for the "offical" mirror of
ppclinux.apple.com/~benh.

Also, you might want to <shameless plug> take a look at the yaboot guide
and howto over at imaclinux.net/php/imaclinux_g_h?qsearch=%

I have to admit, I am not to the person to direct yaboot questions to,
but I know the basics. I do not have a New World machine to test out
yaboot, so there is no guarentees that it's perfectly accurate.

The new Macs have a bootmanager preinstalled: Try holding "Alt" on
bootup.
