The YDL page says that the Beige G3 uses BootX, not yaboot. See
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/installation/guide2.1.shtml. If
the boot loader looks like a GUI, not just a black screen with some
text, then that is BootX, not yaboot. 2.1 has a BootX based installer on
the CD which you should be able to use. This will require you keep MacOS
in order to run the boot loader. But I agree with Gordon, having a copy
of the MacOS that you can install from (esp when things go wrong!) is
very important. Maybe you could even find an old MacOS CD from a friend
or on ebay?
